Theres just no fun when you hit trips. If you bet, you immediately give it away that you have them, and you'd better hope your kicker is good because the other guy with trips is gonna be up against you.
When i get trips at first i think great! but then i realise they just waste my time, theres so many more hands i'd rather have.
Having said that, it is great when the person with trips is lower kickered and wants to bet a lot
And you do rarely get those hands where trips and a flush or straight draw are on the board so you can bet away.
But still these situations seem so few and far between.
And sometimes when someone has trips and theres no draws, everyone just checks to the river leading to an amazingly boring, long hand where the person with trips makes a ridiculous pot bet on the end and it all over.
