Vb or C/C with Trips
 

Pretty new to the table, so I don't have any reads on the opponents.

Any comments on this hand. I was in two minds whether to value bet the river or check call.

Bet more on the flop
turn fine imo
river is either half pot bet or check

Re: Vb or C/C with Trips
 

We need to know stacksizes. I'll assume villain has a fullstack and so do you. In that case you should vb 1/2-2/3 pot unless you're paranoid enough to put him on a set or flush. Lots of worse hands will call you. I don't like the flop bet, bet more or c/r.

Re: Vb or C/C with Trips
 

If youre going to lead flop, lead for a bigger amount. The turn bet is a good size, and I definitely lead river. You cant assume UTG+1 has just rivered a flush because of his c/c on flop and turn. If he had A7 he had you the whole time anyway, so the A doesnt change much, other than him having pocket aces of course, but thats just a cooler. Bet around 12 on river, stack sizes would help though.

its interesting how important stack sizes are to nl

Re: Vb or C/C with Trips
 

Fold preflop, include stacksizes.

Re: Vb or C/C with Trips
 

Why would you ever c/c here? Such an easy vb. Also, bet more on the flop/turn

Re: Vb or C/C with Trips
 

I fold pre-flop.
