Re: (55) So you\'ve decided to represent trips...
Anything is possible, but I think his turn bet is too weak to be trips that often. He didn't slowplay the flop after all.
I think I'm calling. There are some draws out there, so I'm not sure, but I think calling is good. |

And also, how bad is pushing the turn? I'm guessing your calling for pot-control reasons incase villain does have trips and/or to induce a river bluff from a missed draw. But if villain is on a draw, would pushing the turn not be a better option? |

[/ QUOTE ] I disagree with this logic about the size of the turn bet because I think lots of people make poor bets with strong hands. I do however think it is a call. He could still have a lot of hands, many of which you beat, and many of those that will check the river unimproved. I am comfortable calling here and folding to any significant bet on the river. I do think he has a ten alot though, just not enough for you to fold yet. |

Re: (55) So you\'ve decided to represent trips...
If we're assuming you have no read on the villain, then we don't know if he's playing solid poker or not. He has $55 is about all we know.
You preflop raise was smallish, some people protect their blinds with any 2, so we can't know too much about his pocket. I'd assume he could have: -any pair -AK/AQ/AJ/A9/KQ clubs -a T with a high card -total bluff i think a good player would get more money out the hand with a T-something hand. But since we don't know anything about the villain, its safer to assume they are so-so. Chance they're bluffing: 10-20% |

Re: (55) So you\'ve decided to represent trips...
I reraise him on the flop to really see if he has a 10 or not. It gives you an indication of the strength of his hand b/c u now show major strength. If he comes over the top of you on the flop again I would fold.
