Trips on a horrible board
 

I realize I played this hand horribly, but that's only because I went on tilt when I saw the flop. I've had this situation happen to me more times than I count recently -- hit trips, but on a single-color board. How do others play these situations? Just shove and force out anyone drawing? Or is that just risking shoving into someone who already has a flush? I've been at this table for about 10 minutes, no real read on my opponents yet.

UTG checks, Hero?

Re: Trips on a horrible board
 

check. If it was just UTG I'd bet out bluffing a diamond but you've still got BTN there so I would check/fold.

Re: Trips on a horrible board
 

I don't see any value in betting here. With two players calling your flop bet, one of them is sure to have a diamond, if not both. Check, and hope to see the a showdown without investing anymore money in the pot.

If the Button bets a ridiculous low amount, and UTG folds, I probably would make a call.

So it's basically a lost cause?

After the river, yeah - there's no reason to bet. You're going to lose much more money than you will win in that position. Nothing you can do there.

bets OK, dunno if check/raise is better no idea how passive they are (if it ever gets checked around thats real bad).

check river man.
