SB ($35.45)

Hero ($152.16)
MP (Villain) ($27.70)
CO ($22.85)
Button ($17.75)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
Hero calls $0.25, <font color="#CC3333">MP Villain raises to $2</font>, CO calls $2, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero calls $1.75.

Flop: ($6.35) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Villain bets $3</font>, CO folds, Hero calls $3.

Ya bad slowplay, mainly b/c at that level most people would slowplay trips there. Betting out he may think you are on a steal and you will win a nice pot if things hold up. Plus when he picks up the flush draw on the turn its going to be hard to shake him.

Yeah, i had a feeling slow play here would be bad since he raised preflop.

as for the turn, that was bad to give a free card i guess.

Trips have always been a problem hand for me. In this case, i figured if he had a jack too, my kciker would hold up. guess not.

No one has anything to say about calling that pf raise? Im folding for an 8x raise, thats a trouble hand against a pf raiser.

Yeah, given MP's stack size, that's a real real marginal pre-flop call. If you lost this hand, you're probably going to lose it no matter what line you take...but, I would probably c/r the flop, push the rest of his $$ in on the turn. Or, lead the flop, push the turn. One or the other.

I agree. I totally blanked and lost track of things, like his raise and my position.
