Thanks One Outer and Bob.

Ok, confession time, I was sb with trip twos.

I don't normally play this high, I felt that the other players had mis-played their hands, but wasn't sure if I was missing something.

On the river aces raised, I three-bet, UTG+1 and aces call.

UTG+1 turns up KJ, I told you they'd being going at it. I suspect Aces thought he was trapping UTG+1 and hoping that I'd missed a flush/straight draw on river.

Checking I was expecting to get bet, call, c/r and hoping for two crying calls.

Is my re-raise on the river correct with seat three raising. I was certainly sweating a bigger set as I get called twice.

Well, yeah they misplayed their hands. UTG way overplayed top pair and AA should have raised the flop.

I'm not sure I three bet the river. I don't have a big problem with it, and I'm not sure whether it might be a mistake. I'm going to say it's ok because if you're going to make a mistake like this is should be a mistake of aggression in a big pot with a huge hand.

I'd be less than honest if I didn't say that I was mildly annoyed by you posting the hand as if you had aces. Not sure why.
