Re: playing aces

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.

IMO you played your hand worse than the AA.
I don't know what everyone's afraid of "letting in cheap" on a J24 rainbow flop 3 handed. If there's a reason slowplaying to the turn is bad it's because a flop raise induces a 3bet from Jx more often than a turn raise will. His line even has the benefit of not making it obvious when he peels with overs.
The 22 slowplay, on the other hand...because it looks like the PFR has AK, there is a higher than usual risk of a turn checkthrough, along with a higher risk that pfr gets away without putting in any more money. Raise the flop.
