Your playing ina 5.50 bud your smoking there raising range with your trips. You also need to remember the average player isnt raising there slow playing trips. Even with the draw out there. In a 5.50 your playing with average to crap players 98% of the time. 88 is smooth calling there. If they got a better kicker you just hit a unlucky spot. To often in these low buyins your gonna run into too high cards, straight draw, overpairs and alot of times the button making a play with nothing at all. Your also early in the tourney so you cant really have any reads on players. Put it all in and if they have you your just in a unlucky spot.
