trips against paired door card

[docholiday420]

Hand is unraised on third, hero has 669 call the bring in and get trips, however a guy paired his 8 door card and leads out, no other eights apparent, what do you do? R-C-F

I call. If he stops betting, I start betting.

What if he continues to bet do you just call him down. I've been so wrapped aorund this situation a raise tells you if he has it or not, but if not he prob folds and you don't get paid. Also if slick, he can smooth call then I pay him off for the next three rounds, lol.

Don't wrap your head around this situation too much. It comes up infrequently. Sometimes losing money is unavoidable. Having trips on fourth in stud is one of those things.

so just call it down, dont fold but dont get too aggessive

[templar999]

Yeah pretty much. It's like HE where you're way ahead or way behind, but this being stud, you're not terribly behind. You lose the least possible when you're behind, or you let your opponent bet off a bunch his chips when you're ahead.
