Default Yeah, I turned Trips!

I seem to love these situations.

100+9

Level 2, 8 players left.

I have about 1500, other notables have around 1000

Folded to button who limps, SB completes I check with Q5o.

Flop is QT2 with 2 diamonds

SB checks, I bet 60 and the button calls, SB folds.

Turn is a Q

I bet 140, he makes is 475.

Heros action!

Edit: Oh yeah, my note on the guy says solid but prolly a bit passive.

His huge overbet is about a 3/4 pot-sized bet.

Would you stop getting yourself into these situations!!... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

According to villans play, I have to push this. A call on his behalf with a queen on the flop is just stupid with two dimonds on the board. This call tells me he's probably sitting with his queen x, his x being low because A, he didnt raise preflop and B, the flop action...

If his kicker is greater than yours, its a big favorite to split with my thinking.

Go ahead and flame me by telling me he turned over flopped pp trips, to make a boat on the turn.

i like all of the above...trips would raise your flop bet for the same reason. i'd have to call.

im sorry its late, and your hand is hard to follow without a converter. but anyways, his bet is closer to pot size than 3/4th, but no need to be that nitpicky. His bet still seems high for someone who has a turned a very strong hand, ie.-full house or trips with a better kicker. Therefore I reraise all in usually.

If you just turned a boat or trips what would you raise to in his spot?

we don't really think he turned trips as he gave you a cheap card with draws possible on the flop. So, only thing were really worried about is him turning a fullhouse usually.

after you lead on the turn with a T1400 bet, I would probably raise to T2000-T3000. I think smooth calling is also an option. I obviously don't want to push him out and I want to give him odds to draw dead to his flush. But if he does indeed have trips I want to make money on it. So, in that respect his raise seems suspect. Don't you think?

All right, this is a bit different from the last hand on which my advice admittedly sucked.

A solid, passive player raises with ______ on a QT2Q board?

(Edit: I've been right every time I made this laydown...but admittedly that's been about three times. If your read is ever so slightly off, call and call any river.)

Probably slowplaying AA or something. Okay but its hard to put him on a queen, why didnt he raise the flop with a queen? Most people don't slowplay top pair there.
