Re: Trips OOP in limped pot
yep bet more on flop, and shove here. I think he'll show up 99-JJ a lot here. you're right that 88 probably would've played this slower. these mid pairs are the kind of hands which he would be wanting to play for set value at this stage and not trying to inflate the pot too much pre flop when after 5 limpers he probably gets a couple of callers.
also two things regarding your read about him being tight, firstly even the tightest of players find it hard to resist 89/9Ts after a table of limpers on the button, and also it's only the 1st level so he may just be a bit card dead. there's only one other 7 in the pack which you are going broke to imo so just shove and be happy about it.
