Re: Should I have laid down my trips?
Hard to say that you played badly - I would just say, you made a mistake. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
You got a free play from the big and flopped top-pair, no kicker on an highly dangerous board against two or even three active opponents. If you bet out, all draws (which are many!!) will call you as well as made straights and other Queens (probably with a higher kicker). Said this, your bet doesn´t get you any information, it just blows up the pot!
Referencing this dynamite board, I would just check and fold my hand (on the flop!!) to any resistance.
As played - you are at 90% behind, as your opponent easily could have a Q or even a made straight (maybe in combination with a FD). It made no sense for me to push a draw here as he could have done this easily on the flop ...
So cut your losses here and let the hand go.
