    Default All In - Trip Aces vs. Potential Flush

    OK, so here's the deal - I'm lookin at trip Aces against a potential flush draw. Looking back at this hand, these are the conclusions I came up with:

    1) I should have raised Player 3's $.25 bet after the flop to avoid Player 3 hitting his flush.

    2) Probably not wise to call his all-in.

    3) I probably should have lost this hand.

    Normally, I would have raised the post-flop bet but didn't this time. Your thoughts?

    with 4 players and two folding ahead of you raise this preflop against the BB, get some money in the pot.

    sure it's nice to slow play or minbet trip A's, but often it's better to just take it down when there's str8 or flush draws out there.

    he gives you every indication that he made the flush and you should drop it on the turn.
