interesting thought. that's when it would be really hand to know what type of player he was. had i bet on the flop, say half the pot, and got raised, i might have to very well think about the trips in which case my odds are closer to 50%, which then leads me to think of the implied odds. say we get to the turn and it doesnt help me then he's likely to bet as he's indicated that he most likely has the upper hand on the flop - ie i'd have to put more money in to see the river..

it's tough but i think if he'd re-raise the flop i'd fold. would you ?
