    Default fold ur trips!! FPS?

    maybe i worte too much pre-hand stuff, but don't want this to look toooo bad.

    anyways villain seems donkish-lag but kinda thinking post flop, ~30/10 pre flop.
    i have a NIT image, like 14/8...never playing big pots, just fold fold fold, except a couple times showing down the goods in medium pots. i haven't even cbet a ton.

    some notes on villain:
    c/c flop, c/r min turn with a low boat multiway on drawy board
    call K3s oop hu vs my pfr, led turn/riv with air after flop check
    c/r min a cbet to see where mid pair stood (he shut down after getting called).

    thought process:
    so i figured on the flop he wasn't sure of his hand, and I might take the pot on the turn. FPS with no outs huh?
    then thought on the turn he prob had a Kx hand, usually a weak kicker...bad idea to rep the AK?
    seemed there was enough left to at least make it a hard call on the turn. fwiw i insta pushed.

    Hand #40567552-36084 at East Peoria (No Limit Hold'em)

    joesphe is at seat 0 with $0 (sitting out).
    sashager is at seat 1 with $891.70.
    frank_tank is at seat 2 with $754.45.
    XXPSAXX is at seat 3 with $836.45.
    Hero is at seat 4 with $428.50.
    needamil is at seat 5 with $110.60.
    The button is at seat 5.

    sashager posts the small blind of $2.
    frank_tank posts the big blind of $4.

    sashager: -- --
    frank_tank: -- --
    XXPSAXX: -- --
    Hero: :Th:
    needamil: -- --

    Pre-flop:

    XXPSAXX folds. Hero raises to $14. needamil
    calls. sashager calls. frank_tank folds.

    Flop (board: :Kd: :Ks: pot=$44

    sashager checks. Hero bets $32. needamil
    folds. sashager raises to $64. Hero calls.


    Turn (board: :Kd: :Ks: ): pot=$172

    sashager bets $100. Hero goes all-in for
    $350.50.

    i think my thought process was good, except for getting someone to fold trips - just not a good idea...especially with 0 outs. agreed? or ok with my image and metagame stuff?

    I don't think he's folding whatever he has, unless it's complete air.

    why? based on the one 99 hand, he prob didnt flop a monster like K7/77...and wouldn't he think i did with how i played?

    thanks, but who would be a better opp? i know his betting looks donkish, but he seemed to at least consider what other ppl have.
    not only that, but he could take this line with a bigger range than a tighter opp, and still be capable of folding the lower end of it.

    benny- im not sure i would ever make a big bluff against a 30/10. You should be raising his limps frequently in position and waiting for him to tilt/play back at you/get thin value on 2 or 3 streets from top pair etc. He cant be very good if he plays 30/10, end of story.

    based on your notes the important thing is that he shut down when called after raising for info.

    he didn't shut down here so that's scary.

    it's a great board for him to make a move though, so I don't hate your play.
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    good explanations, thanks.

    ya this wasnt a great bluff, maybe too much late night over-analyzing and getting a little antsy...appreciate the comments though.
