Flopped trips
 

A couple of people posting, so I limped early with A2s. Flop gave me trips with top kicker. BB is 23/5.7/2.9 over 300 hands, with a flop AF of 5.3! Should I be raising to charge a possible flush draw or trying to get overcalls?

BBs AF means that he fit-or-folds a lot not that he is mainiacal, but
with a two tone board and a decent pot forming I'm raising.

I raise flop. and still expect overcalls. It's microstakes limit and calling 2 cold probably won't phase a lot of your opponents when they have a flushdraw, 7, 2 with a weaker kicker, or pocket pair. Get your money in and expect profits.

Anyone wanna wait with the raise until turn?

There's no way we can protect our hand against a FD (which is the only hand we'd really like to get rid of here). By raising we make sure that FDs get the odds to correctly call the turn too.

If we wait until turn we'd have a much better chance to protect it. Then again, if BB doesn't bet the turn we're in the same situation as on the flop but he seems aggressive enough. Unless of course, he's the one with the FD.

Call flop, raise a non heart turn or bet if noone else did.

Raise for value. It is seldom, if ever, a good idea to slow play trips. Nobody will believe that you have a two anyway.

Raise. They'll put you A7 before they put you on A2.

you should be value raising. flush draws are coming along anyway.

I don't think this is the spot to wait. Flush draws are rarely folding on the turn for a raise either. Just charge them now and maybe Mr. Aggressive will give us the opportunity to cap this flop. With a 5+ Flop AF there is a good chance we can four bet.

Another drawback of waiting to raise the turn is that there's no guarantee that the flop bettor will lead the turn after he gets called in a bunch of spots.
