Re: Pedal to the metal with trips...
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I would have slowed way down and check/called all the way. But then, I'm risk-averse. [/ QUOTE ] Not good at all. If you're risk-averse, you shouldn't play poker. You need to take risks in poker a lot of them. [/ QUOTE ] I'm not saying I don't like taking risks at all, I'm saying I'm choosier than most in deciding when to take them. A small heads-up pot with this board and a ton of aggression against me rules out aggression on my part. Check/call or fold.

[ QUOTE ] I'm check-calling the river. [/ QUOTE ] If this is true then I assume also that you wouldn't have capped the turn. [/ QUOTE ] Yup.

That's not slowing down on the river, that's being passive and giving up bets when you are a huge favorite after the flop. If you mean ch/call the river, that is probably reasonable (although I would still bet against an idiot).

[/ QUOTE ] Eh, it depends on the read. Chip stack. Am I close to all-in? Do it, of course. Am I way up for the night? Do it. Did I just sit down? Just wait. You don't have to win every hand, and getting into a pissing contest with an idiot on this board with a weak kicker is just looking for trouble. Clearly, we play differently. I prefer to make moves when I am likely to be ahead.

Chip stacks are irrelevant in limit unless someone’s almost out, and that should never ever be you. [ QUOTE ] Am I way up for the night? Do it. [/ QUOTE ] That is a very bad reason to do anything in poker. [ QUOTE ] Did I just sit down? Just wait. You don't have to win every hand, and getting into a pissing contest with an idiot on this board with a weak kicker is just looking for trouble. [/ QUOTE ] You're looking to get maximum value out of every hand. [ QUOTE ] Clearly, we play differently. [/ QUOTE ] Check calling the turn after leading and getting raised on the flop is not "different" it's bad. Considering folding at any point in this hand is terrible. [ QUOTE ] I prefer to make moves when I am likely to be ahead. [/ QUOTE ] Apparently not.

[/ QUOTE ] I was refering to his plan not the hand.
