Default Live 1/2, playing for stacks w/trips vs TAG.

Effective stacks are 250, I've played w/villain before, very aggro especially compared to the average LP live donk. No history though, haven't played any big pots. I'm likely the tightest player at the table at the moment.

One limper, I raise K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the button, villain in SB calls, BB folds, limper folds.

Flop comes KK8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Checked to me, I bet 2/3 pot, villain c/re-pots, I call.

Turn low [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], villain bets 3/4 pot, I call w/ only 1/3 of a PSB behind.

River blank, villain pushes, I call.

Comments on post-flop play?

I wouldn't call with so little behind on the turn, shove is better than call.
Tough to get away from this one. I might three bet flop.

I chose my flop bet size to induce a bluff (against a weak passive player I probably bet 1/2 or check behind) because it looks so much like a standard cont. bet.

I forgot to note that I took a while to call villain's flop c/r, it might have looked weak. I was thinking about 3-betting, but I thought that it lets villain get away from way too many hands and basically turns my hand face up.

I dunno about the turn though, any reason to shove asides from the weird stack sizes?

yea i think i'm pushing on flop to push out diamond draw, i think flat calling leaves us in a weird spot if another diamond hits

Are you shoving with just trips, or a wider range? Seems like on this board shoving would be extremely exploitable, no?
