Trips in a rr pot - Stack-a-Donk!

[Chicago Twister]

Opponent is v aggro, and likely to be stealing preflop. There's a very good chance he will raise if I bet anywhere postflop. I'm not sure yet if this means he only gets postflop with good hands or if he's just crazy.

The flat call by BTN could indicate drawing to a flush, which he hit on the turn. Bet more on the flop. Yeah would have been more likely to be called if he was indeed drawing. The turn check is a little iffy because you look weak so BTN might try to steal, but he might also have the flush. It's hard to know where you are at at this point. I recommend betting out again, maybe like 20 and see where it goes from there.

I make it bigger preflop, and more on flop, because of the clubs. If the clubs weren't there, I'd probably go with half pot too. Although I don't even mind that. THe board is paired, we do have trips, so while a flush is ultimately what we are afraid of, it's not as scary because the board is paired &amp; we got like 10 outs twice to boat if flush does come. Or about that.

There is no way we are getting away from our hand on turn. To be honest, there's no getting away from this hand after the flop, which is why I just suggest you make the flop bet bigger, costing him more when the turn doesn't bring a club.

On turn, if you bet 20, and he shoves over you, you'll be getting about 3:1 to call ($25 more, $75ish in pot). You'd be crazy not to call here, because even if he has flush, we got 10 outs to a boat, which will come like 20% of the time, so we are getting almost the correct odds even if we knew he had the flush.

Overall, the only problem I'd have with your line is that you are basically giving him the chance to take a free card on turn, and it's very crucial that you don't let him do this. If he has a high club, he is taking the free time a good # of times here, and 4 clubs on board would kill your hand. If you at least had like the ten of clubs, I might be more inclined to CRAI this turn, but OOP, on that board, I don't like it. We need to protect against flush draws. He has a flush draw here way more often than he has a made flush.

So yeah, I just bet turn, big, probably around pot. I also bet flop bigger, like $8 or 9ish. Given read, you have to be absolutely sure that he'll bet turn for you to go for CRAI here.
