Why did you keep the K? Did he stand pat? I think if he drew even 1 card I would have called with the Set of Aces. If he did stand, you were right to fold
pleazzzzzzzzz Sep 30, 2008 7:09 pm
he drew one and i always do 1 with trips it makes people think u got 2 pair or a draw and it gets um confused and they usualy pet into me
tim4u Sep 30, 2008 7:14 pm
think u had a bigger set,,,,maybe a call

There was 310 in the pot. 60 is much too small of a bet. If you bet 2/3 to full pot you probably stop the check raise bluff and pick up a small pot. Betting 60 probably required you to reraise allin to his raise.

Doing the "i always do 1 with trips it makes people think u got 2 pair or a draw and it gets um confused..." is a decent trap at times, but I would not do it always. Just for this kind of hit.

U12 Muck?: calls 60
U12 Muck?: discards 1 card
U12 Muck?: checks
U12 Muck?: raises 480 to 540

He may have been drawing to a straight of flush and hit, but if he hit the value is not there to check and hope someone will bet, so a straight or flush is not likely.
If he "Always" dose that he will more often then not get checked down. I feel the person probably had a week 2 pair and with your week bet he felt he had a better 2 pair and wanted to get some more in the pot. He sure could have had a monster, but I'm not sure. And the big reason there is no way to be sure is that your bet was so small.

Just my opinion.

I'm really really tired, and I am not sure I read this right, Did you lay down trip Aces in a 5 cards draw game? I am totally missing why you didn't bet 300 or more( maybe way more) before the draw? and why you would even think of folding trip Aces here.
In five draw the odds of any player getting a straight are some thing like 1 in 254 and the odds of getting a flush are ,I think , 1 in 506 0r 508.
He can't have higher trips then you, and like you said" he only took one card on the draw, so he was either trying for one of those really long shots, or more likely he had two pair. A full house in 5 draw is worth a lotttttt more then 480.
The minute I saw the trip aces I would have been playing it like a HUGE MONSTER, hell, in 5 draw it IS A HUGE MONSTER!
OK Im going to go take a nap and reread this and see if it makes any more sense to me LOL

Sorry the comment from IronmenRB was from me, I forgot I was still in the clan page, sorry but I told you I was tired LOL

You wayyy underbet after the draw, and you should have dumped that king, too. Your odds of hitting another pair to fill a boat are better than your odds of getting a second king. And had you bet bigger, you'd have put your opponent in a situation where if he missed his draw, he'd have to make an even bigger bluff to knock you off your hand -- so he probably folds with a miss and raises if he completed his straight or flush or hit his boat.

Sure, go ahead and try to deceive opponents about the nature of your hand once in a while, but be wary of cases where it will seriously hurt your chances of improving.
