Flopped trips going gay on turn

*Just a quick note, I have $17 less than button so effective stacks on the turn are about 67.*

Edit: How big a chance do you think there's for button having a FD? My thought-process (if I had one, it's party...) was that by betting this small I get him to shove the FD's. I he has a A/9 I think the money's going in no matter what.

Right, I didn't take that into consideration, I like to bet about half my stack here then. Make it $33, this will also pot commit him.

I re-read your OP, are you saying checking turn gets most value out of villain, or betting $21? betting > checking IMO

Ya I agree, if he has an A or 9, he's stacking off here. Not sure how to figure what % of the time he's going to have a FD here. Are you betting small to look weak so he'll bluff?

I'm saying betting small is the best thing to do here but checking>shoving. Or maybe it's impossible for villain to have a FD here, dunno.

EDIT: Yeah, I mean if he has a strong hand I'm getting his money anyway so I just give him a reason to bluff. It's weird because I don't think I've done this before even though you'd think the situation comes up a lot and because I generally never "min"-bet/raise.

I beleive there's a small chance villain has a FD here. Ya I agree that checking > shoving as villain could be drawing dead, or to 2 or 3 outs. There's nothing wrong with betting $21, but I think you have a better chance of doubling up if you bet half your stack now, then the rest on the river.
