Default Re: Give me trips and I\'ll burn lotsa chips, Stud 8.

Limp on third. Raising really only has the potential to drive one player out, and he may be folding anyway. If the bring-in will fold to your raise, presumably, he will also fold if you bet on fourth street.

Fourth and fifth are fine. On sixth, you might want to check, but the money is going in anyway. I would grit my teeth and call on the river. The pot is enormous at this point. Assuming that the guy with the hearts is a typical micro-limit player, he could easily have a low hand. It is overwhelmingly likely that he has a flush, of course, but you're getting a zillion-to-one here. You only need about a 5% chance of being good to make it worth calling two bets (about 10% if you'll have to call four). I would guess that your chance of being good approaches 20%, so I think you have to call.
