    You don't typically win a lot of money with hands like these. I think your line is fine, with blinds this low you need to start building the pot early.

    Rainbow board, no draws.... What are thoughts on a check/ call the flop, check raise the turn line?

    himself fucker.
    Check and raise. If you bet at this flop, you only get action from good Qs. Same Qs will bet. Maybe even some other hands?

    Downswinging holla!
    Since this is a party SNG, I'd opt to check here and hope to get a bet from somebody. A bet might get a bunch of folds, so I probably would check and see if I can make some money off them since there are few cards that could hurt you.

    I check it. You want to build a big pot, but you got 1 limper and a small blind in. I would probably make a half pot or even min bet on the turn to try to induce a raise or call. If they call and catch tp on the river they will usually think they are good Oh yeah, I don't worry about giving good odds to someone on a str8/flush draw, you are allowed to fold this if someone goes crazy on a 3 suit river/ 3 str8 river.

    By the way, betting 55 on that flop is not the best way to get action(do you see what I mean?).

    I would check raise the flop.
    If it checked all the way I would bet the turn about 1/2 pot

    You're AI!

    I try to check call the flop, then check raise turn.

    If it checks around on the flop I'll often cehck the turn again. If it checks around one more time i'll sometimes overbet the river. A lot of times people will make some desperation calls when they think you're making a move on them.

    I'm not sure my line's teh best though, I feel like sometimes when I flop trips I'm guilty of what Caro calls Fancy Play Syndrome. Still though, that's probably how I play it.
