Default Re: Trips

I'm going to have a go at this one.

Hands that beat you: 82, 22, T8, TT

Other hands in his range include suited 8s, 99-TT though these probably wouldn't minraise the turn, JJ-AA might though and a 40/3/1.6 villian seems like the perfect candidate to play them this way.

Since you raised preflop he's not going to put you on an 8 straight away and the mini bet on the flop could easily be a worse 8.

So what to do? I think if you reraise you need to make it somewhere around $120 which will leave you with next to no chips so it's between a push and a call. A push will almost certainly fold out most of the non 8 hands and I don't think you mind him drawing to 2 outs if he has a pair, you may even get him to fold a smaller 8, which you don't really want him to do.

If you call he still doesn't know what you are on so may well bet again with a hand you beat on the river. If he checks then I'd probably fire out about 1/2 psb on the river.
