25nl: turn trips, get checkraised

you guys are all way too excited to 3-bet in position with marginal hands at small stakes. unless you have a significant equity edge which you must be expoiting preflop, it is very often better to utilize your equity AND positional advantage POSTflop rather than preflop. Every time you are considering 3-betting preflop, you should be comparing it to calling preflop and then raising every single flop. See what the differences are, what the risk:reward is, which flops will be great for you, which will be terrible, etc. Then figure out which line is better. And then of course there is also calling every flop and betting/raising every turn, or whatever. Just because you dont take the lead preflop doesnt mean you wont have the advantage postflop. In position, you almost always will - you don't have to just play fit or fold.

Great post.

As far as the hand goes, I wouldn´t go around folding these types of hands at 25NL too often. I´m well aware that villian´s line appears to scream of 88, AK, AQ type hands, but if you really don´t have a read on him, I don´t think folding here is correct.
