Should I be worried at all?? Most times is he drawing here or has a hand like KQ?? Should I set him in on the river or check call? Cheers.

In fact out of interest is the call preflop ok?? or should I be folding most times pre here?

Re: Trips do I bet river?
 

I think he has a King here, so you can go ahead and bet the river. And I would fold prelfop (sc's oop aren't great)

Re: Trips do I bet river?
 

Fold preflop; SCs suck OOP. Shove the river for sure.

Re: Trips do I bet river?
 

It's possible you get called by a better 8, but villain's range is so much bigger than that. You get called by a King enough to make a bet profitable.

Re: Trips do I bet river?
 

Villain will be thinking a pair of kings has a lot more value than it actually does. Bet.

Re: Trips do I bet river?
 

Fold pf and yeah, please please please shove this river. i would raise the flop to 8 as well.

Re: Trips do I bet river?
 

Yeah fold PF due to OOP but definatly shove this river and then triple fist pump when he shows QK

Re: Trips do I bet river?
 

im sure something like A8, or K8 would reraise on the turn? or am I wrong?

Re: Trips do I bet river?
 

typically fold preflop, unless you have a very good read on how villain plays postflop. if you are calling preflop, it should be with the intention to c/r semibluff / bluff a bunch of flops, and not just try and make a good hand.

i think its better that you just fold preflop though. as played preflop i think flop/turn are fine. but river is a super standard push for value. he will call with Kx. AA, probably even a frustration call from QQ/JJ knowing 50nl.
