    Good points. I guess my equity on the flop is terrible against his range, and low enough to merit a fold, didn't think about that too clearly at the time. I'm going to get barreled off a high % of the time and not have any other option but to fold turn aswell.

    I think i checked back because i've been getting c/bombed a lot in this spot lately, but this turn card is going to polarize my betting range so he should be disinclined to c/raise bluff if i bet? I guess a lot of hands have decent equity against mine on the turn, so we should also bet for protection and to avoid being bluffed on the river?

    I guess the reason this hand is awkward is because my flop call is no good.

    If this guy wants to c/bomb you off trips he can go ahead (yes you're turn betting range should be polar here).

    But yeah you're getting yourself in trouble here calling this flop, even if you're ahead you're going to get bluffed off a decent amount.
