Re: Playing Trips Passively
Tough spot on turn, but I think calling is the correct play. I don't really like raising because he's not going to call you without KK or AK. He probably doesnt have AJ or worse because of the UTG raise, and he probably folds a hand like QQ/JJ/QK if you raise.
MP2 is a toughy. He very well could have a hand like AJ or A10, although its unlikely. I'd probably put him most likely on a K, and maybe a flush draw.
All in all, I like your call here. The only point to raising, in my opinion, is to price out the flush draws, which isn't as big as a concern as avoiding going broke to KK/AK.
