(WSOP Stud8 1K) Open trips vs. John Juanda

[Micturition Man]

I made a post earlier but I guess I forgot to send it.

I think your first action here absolutely 100% has to be a check.

With open 333 the only worse hand that will pay off is 777, and 777 will definitely bet if you check.

The difficult part is whether to check-call or check-raise. It seems to me that JJ is most likely on a flush/low draw, not 777, because he probably would have raised 777 on 5th or 6th.

So I like a check-raise. Hopefully he pays with a flush or trips.
