Default Re: Trip 5\'s (0,50/1)

You have a super awesome hand, get a lot of bets in. 79 is possible, 88 is possible, 66 is possible, but more likely when he raises the flop two pair or an overpair or something like k8, Q8 is more likely. He is much more likely on the flop to have a hand worse than yours, so you should raise. If he caps, then mb you would have discussion about what to do on later streets.

You can't be afraid to get bets in with your good hands for fear that your oppenent has a better hand. Sure it sucks when you put bets in and he has it, but in spots where it is profitable for you to put bets in you have to take advantage, that is pretty much how you make money at poker.
