Here is a scenario where I find myself stacking off all too often but especially OOP, and that's hitting trips on a connected flop with multiple players (3+). ,"

I believe trips with weak kicker as compared to sets to be a leak in most players games. I also keep notes to see what trips kicker someone will stack off with.

Flops like this:
K4 flop KK7
A3 flop AAJ

Should be thought of as the same strength as:

KJ flop K72 or A7 flop A93

Compare with
A3 flop 33J
A7 flop 33K

The reason you should look at it this way is because who's going to call you when the flop is KK7?

K* and 77 and a couple of idiots with pocket pair.

Everything then becomes a battle of kickers.

So pot control is huge when hitting trips with a week kicker.

The best way is usually to check the flop and pick someone off when an over card hits on the turn or river.
