Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: GlasgowBandit on June 01, 2006, 09:38:54 PM Personally I'm raising pre flop here and then I'm betting on the flop.
The fact that nobody had made a raise and flat called for me pre flop is showing they are pretty weak, It really depends on how the table has been playing and or if you have come across any of these players before. I'm making a bet of about 150 pre flop to think down the callers. I wouldn't imagine youwould get any action from anyone holidng 6 3 here its possible that you may get a limper with say 6 8 suited but i reckon you get them off it pre flop if you make a bet.

Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: gatso on June 01, 2006, 10:18:47 PM I'm making a bet of about 150 pre flop to think down the callers. you're betting 2 1/2xBB UTG with 66 for nearly 10% of your stack? Seems a bit strong. I like the limp with this hand Next move depends on the action in front of you. If the blinds check the flop I'd tend to bet around the 150 mark but have a feeling this is a bit weak and would like to know what others would do. If anyone bets a small amount I'm just calling. If anyone bets big I'm going straight over the top.

Limping and calling a raise is much better for your implied odds than raising, being re-raised and folding.

Why would you want to get away from it? you're probably ahead. The real value in small pairs comes from getting in cheap, legging it if you miss but getting paid off when you hit your set Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: stallyon on June 02, 2006, 03:56:42 PM Why would you want to get away from it? you're probably ahead. The real value in small pairs comes from getting in cheap, legging it if you miss but getting paid off when you hit your set exactly....the best way to play middle pairs is limping in and hope you hit a set....exactly what I did....after the flop I bet $400 and got 2 callers with the turn coming 3d now what? any 6 out there and your beat..your only hope is for the board to pair to know your ahead Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: SupaMonkey on June 02, 2006, 04:01:17 PM What did the blinds do?
Edit, i meant blind. Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: stallyon on June 02, 2006, 04:04:54 PM SB folded BB called
Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: SupaMonkey on June 02, 2006, 04:08:31 PM Have i misread the thread. You bet the flop, got two callers. The turn came a 3d so the BB was to act. What did he do?
Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: ACE2M on June 02, 2006, 04:22:08 PM You have played it perfect in my opinion. If they are good players you have made them make a mistake in calling your bet but now you must put the breaks on and hope to check it down or call a small raise on the end (thats if you don't fill your boat.)
Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: gatso on June 02, 2006, 04:34:59 PM agree with A2M. I'm slowing down now and calling any smallish bet. you've got 9 cards to hit to fill your boat and 1 for quads and you may well still be ahead without any of them.
Title: Re: Flopping Trips but straight draw possible Post by: stallyon on June 03, 2006, 02:27:36 PM thanks for the input guys...i knew i played it well...turns out one had Q6 off and the other held a pair of 6s so they split the pot.
