Re: Playing Trips Passively
I might raise the turn only because anyone with a halfway decent ace is probably calling almost any turn bet, and anyone without an ace (who doesn't have something better than trip aces) probably won't be putting any more chips in on the river. The K on the board even gives a lot of weaker aces the idea that they've got a good shot at a chop if they call and a fairly high card hits the river.
Basically, if the other 2 guys have just pocket pairs lower than a king, I don't think they bluff the river because they just saw the other 2 players call the turn bet. If they have a worse ace, they'll probably call your turn raise. And as long as you're OK with losing to AK/KK/77/A7, I think raising the turn is good.
So yeah, I'm gonna raise the turn. I think I've gotten as much as I can get out of 22-66, 88-QQ, and now want to isolate against any Ax/Kx hand that wants to keep going.
