OK, this was sort of my thinking, I think. I only called the three-bet on fifth. After raising third and jamming fifth, I think that my opponent might reasonably conclude that the Deuce must have paired me. Really, I don't think there's any other way to interpret my action, is there? When my opponent checks sixth street, it must be because he fears my presumed trips, right? If he's worried about my trips, well, they must be good, right? Is this really way off?

If I was your opp with trip Q's, I woulda played it exactly the way he did. He's gotta worry about a made wheel or made low/wheel draw from 5th. Not much future in jamming for him after 5th.

I think your bet on 6th is perfect - and essential (you're gonna pay off the river anyway, aintcha. So bet 6th and he'll prolly check to you, in which case you check unimproved, or bet if you make a boat or low/wheel)....oh, wait, you bet the river unimproved when he checked to you...tsk, tsk.

Yeah, I don't like the river bet too much. It's important to get value bets in on 7th, but this one just seems way too dangerous, given the early action in the hand.

edit; actually, if I was the opp with QQQ, I wouldnt have repopped 5th.
