    Default Trips play

    Should I have pulled out here or kept going? Villian limps here which confused me some.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    BB ($11.28)
    UTG ($12.46)
    Hero ($4.17)
    MP1 ($5.09)
    MP2 ($3.80)
    MP3 ($3.32)
    CO ($8.90)
    Button ($5)
    SB ($5.77)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 6, 6.
    1 fold, Hero calls $0.05, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.05, MP3 calls $0.05, 2 folds, SB completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($0.25) 6, J, 3 (5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.2, MP2 raises to $0.5, MP3 folds, SB folds, BB folds, Hero raises to $0.9, MP2 raises to $3.75, Hero calls $2.85.

    Turn: ($7.75) 3 (2 players)

    River: ($7.75) 2 (2 players)

    Final Pot: $7.75

    Results in white below:
    Hero has 6h 6s (full house, sixes full of threes).
    MP2 has Jd Jh (full house, jacks full of threes).
    Outcome: MP2 wins $7.75.

    Done up like a kipper mate. You used the old "stealth set" tactic, and so did he.

    I'd lose that every time

    Why are you playing with < full stack? Naughty!

    I've only just gone up from 2nl to 5nl ... I thought the standard was 100BB, even though Stars seems to allow 200 at this level?

    Playing 100BB deep is fine, and how most players like it (now).

    Play was fine. Don't sweat set under set, there's so many other places you're losing money that come up 100 times more often than this.

    Even as I say that, I average like one of these per day. There's just no way to get away from it. Especially at this limit where villian plays QJ the same way.
