    Default flopping trips

    Just sat down at this table, about 10 hands gone. Villain seems fairly solid, in that the past two times he's shown down he's had a hand. If you could glaze over the preflop play, Q9o is always a fold for me, especially oop, but I kinda hit the wrong button :P Advice on how you'd play it at every stage would be appreciated as always.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.04 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button ($5.04)
    SB (Villain)/ ($2.04)
    BB ($6.10)
    UTG ($6.74)
    UTG+1 ($2.81)
    Hero ($5.02)
    MP2 ($14.61)
    MP3 ($4.84)
    CO ($4.93)

    Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 9, Q.
    2 folds, Hero calls $0.04, 3 folds, Button calls $0.04, SB (Villain)/ completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($0.18) 9, 9, T (4 players)
    Villain bets $0.24, BB folds, Hero ???

    raise it, i prob 3-bet/4-bet it, get rid of any draws.

    What are you worried about them drawing to here? The straight? A full house? Villain has already overbet the pot here, so is anyone here going to be drawing anyway? What do you think Villain is doing with his bet here?

    Raise his flop bet big. His overbet on the flop looks like an attempt to take the pot down with a str8 draw or he has a T. I push this and try to get it allin every time. If he flopped a boat, he wouldn't bet it like this...

    Go broke to A9. Or stack 96, whichever you prefer.

    Alright, so play it strongly. I didn't just called. I take it I should raise him on the turn if I don't on the flop? Or has that chance gone now?

    Flop: ($0.18) 9, 9, T (4 players)
    Villain bets $0.24, BB folds, Hero calls $0.24, Button calls $0.24.

    Turn: ($0.90) 4 (3 players)
    Villain bets $0.84, Hero ???

    Drinking your milkshake.
    Yeah I just raise flop and try to get it all in. I don't totally gate the slowplay given that he overbet the pot and also he is short, but I'd just keep it simple and raise to shut out the guys behind me. As played, raise the turn.

    push all in on turn, if you lose to higher trips don't worry about it, usually you are good here (especially since villian is short stacked)
