Trip queens on a dangerous board. How did I play them?

[ninconvert]

This was a tough board to play for me with the many straight
possibilities. By the river I was invested enough that I'd have to call but if he was on a draw he might fold if I raised so I checked with the intention to call his last bet
as that would presumably be optimum?

How do you think the hand played out? do you check the river? Thanks guys

If you're going to cbet, I think you need to make it about $2 on the flop. Your flop bet looks like a feeler bet. I also bet more on the turn. I probably pot it. You're only behind AJ and KK but the board is very draw heavy. Make him pay to see the river.

As played I probably call the river as well just because of the money already in the pot; although I think Villain has the straight ~80% of the time.

yea def. bet more on the flop+turn.....worst river card but i really dont see myself folding river either

hand looks fine.

Unfortunately for that bet size on the river you have to call, in case he is being stupid with aces up.

If he had like ~$6+ the decision is alot more difficult.

Luckily he was all in so I didn't have to make that decision [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I agree the c-bet should have been slightly larger especially. Once again 2+2 members rock [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

If it interests you, he was holding 79 of diamonds

I'm also in the "best more on the flop" camp. At least $3.

As others have said, nothing else you can do on the river because of all the times he has AK/AQ/AT/KQ/KT/TT/88/junk.
