PS $3r/a - 500k, Hand Review

This hand takes place after the 1st break, 100/200/25. Table has watched me double with flopped trips holding AQs, then double again from the sb with flopped trips holding K7o. Vilian seemed solid taking down nice pots with good cards, nothing out of the ordinary.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) converter

Hero (t17260)
UTG (t3275)
UTG+1 (t7650)
MP1 (t8720)
MP2 (t26775)
MP3 (t26828)
CO (t17420)
Button (t6350)
SB (t17214)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, MP1 raises to t400, 1 fold, MP3 calls t400, 2 folds, SB calls t300, Hero calls t200.

Flop: (t1500) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB bets t600, Hero calls t600, MP1 folds, MP3 calls t600.

The board doesn't seem too scary and I figure this is a perfect spot for a trap. I've not been as worried as I have in the past with a "coordinated board" playing against 1-2 others, I won't "automatically put them on diamonds." I really don't mind giving the free card here, set, 2-pair, tptk, I can let them all draw to 2nd best.

Turn: (t3300) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets t2200, Hero raises to t6800, MP3 folds, SB calls t4600.

This is a PERFECT card for me, getting what I wanted, time to spring the trap.

Even if I'm up against a Set, 2-Pair or a possible plush draw, I figure it's best to sweeten it up. I don't want to chase them out of the hand, I want to extract....still a great board for me!

River: (t16900) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t9389 (All-In), Hero ???

Well, the flush draw got there but again, I'm heads up and can't automatically put him on the flush. I do however have to include it in the reasonable range of hands...

The same 8 filled up any set....doesn't seem like I'm ahead of too many hands here any longer.

Call and pray, fold with nearly 50bb behind and start building back up?

I'm betting that he turns over a boat. In a turbo (which I believe this is), I don't think that I can fold this though. I figure there are basically 4 options: he's got the flush (25%), he's got a full house (35%), he's bluffing (15%), or he's tilted because his A2 or A3 just got counterfeited by the second 8 (25%). So, I'd say you've got a 40% shot at the pot. Given the odds and, again, that this is a turbo, I'd probably call here.

Thanks, appreciate the reply!

Not a turbo though, 15 rounds.

i like the call on the flop, think could proabbly raise a little more on the turn, and you're getting 3:1 on the river call, and i think you might be good here 25% of the time.

I think a fullhouse is really unlikely holding, he's pushing a set on the turn almost every time.
