Trips with Ace kicker...Anyway not to go broke?

[feedmerake]

Did I totally overplay my hand here on the flop? Really confused as to what the correct play is here.

BB- $58.30
Hero- $151.80

I think you played it correctly, you're only beat by 55 on the flop and if he has it you got hit with a cold deck pretty hard. Nothing you can do.

[RAHZero]

You have the third nuts. No reason to do anything but get as much money into the pot as you can on this flop.

[feedmerake]

cool, guess I'll chalk this one up to a cooler /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Removed for brain fartiness.

[pokerchap]

he is behind 8 5 too.

go broke here all day. you'll see lower 8s/weak overpairs all day.

Personally, I wouldn't call a minraise with A8 suited from the CO, you can get into too much trouble. There's no way I'd fold this though.

[Sir Winalot]

You played it perfectly.

That just seems silly. You don't want to play a drawing hand cheaply with position? Where would you play it?

As for the hand, I like calling if you think you are ahead. Give the button some odds to call. He has a much bigger stack that the 2nd raiser. He is clearly willing to put some money in the pot, give him a chance.

I actually believe 55 is quite likely here, but not so much that you're going to get away from it given the SB's small stack size. I like the SB's bet size. Raise, but give everyone a chance to call.

I try to play 18/15, so there's not much I'll cold call preflop.

[Acein8ter]

I'd probably play it the same. Hopefully the BB was not playing 55 and had an overpair like 99.
