27s stars: Trips from the BB, first level.

Anyone ever getting away from this? The mini check raise seemed so donkish, I had no clue what he had. A better set was a possiblity, a flush/straight draw as well...hell, he could have anything in the SB. My only concern was getting it in this early without a chance to dominate push botting

hmm...i think its kind of a sucky spot, but the fact is ANY pocket pair, many villains would go broke with at this level, so id say its ok to stack off here, but its probably not great given action without a read

No, after you've committed 440 you have to call.

Nice hand.
