Default Re: The Top Set dilemma

remember when its three way you are laying two to one on your bets to win half apot. when four you are getting even money. so more players make your top set better if you have to split the pot. if you get it head up you can win it all even with low cards coming as a single opponent doesnt always make a low against you. so you tend to do better in hands where you get lots of action or headup.
try to guess what you will be playing against and change your strategy for trips to fit that.
overall in medium tight games top set with no other draws wont win much money or will lose some out of position. in small stakes enough bad callers will keep it as a money maker.
