This happened to me twice in two days, and I would like some advice as to what would be the best way to play these types of situations. I apologize - I don't have hand histories, so this is from memory, but you should get the idea.
Situation #1:
.25/.50 NL
Hero is Big Blind with Q8o
Everyone folds to small blind, who calls
Hero completes
Flop is J85 rainbow (pot is 1.00)
SB leads out for .50
Hero calls
Turn is 8 (pot is 2.00)
SB checks, Hero bets 1.00
SB raises to 2.00, Hero re-reraises to 8.00, SB calls
River is X (pot is 18.00)
SB leads out for 12.00
How should Hero respond having trip 8's with QJ kickers?
Situation #2:
.25/.50 NL
Hero is Big Blind with Q5o
UTG calls, button calls, SB completes
Flop is 55A rainbow (pot is 2.00)
Hero leads out for 2.00, UTG calls, Button calls
Turn is T (pot is 8.00)
Hero leads out for 8.00, UTG calls, Button calls
River is 2 (pot is 32.00)
I really wasn't expecting this many opponents in the pot at this point. How should I play the river? Should I assume that one of my opponents has at least a better set of trips and check/fold, or something else?
