Re: Turn OP check-raised
Hi oatmeal. Welcome. You'll learn much here. One of the first things to learn is not having results-oriented thinking. Your post in this hand came after you knew the results, i.e., the utg player that posted did, in fact, have trips. If the OP knew, in fact, that he was up against trips, then he would have been correct to fold his two outer given the pot odds. He did not, however, know that. What he did know was that an unknown player enters the game and posts a big blind when he's under the gun. He could have waited for one hand and simply entered the game. The fact that he did post UTG at least gives the appearance that he may not know what he's doing. How can you credit such a player with having you beaten? From OP's perspective, this is a pretty straightforward call down.
NH OP.
I hope you enjoy the forum oatmeal. I know I have. How's that for a "flame-free" response?
