AQ Flops trips, $100r

[DOTTT]

I'd like to present this hand in stages. Pre flop I think is standard, so I'll just move ahead to the flop. This is the second hand after the re buy priod ended.

UTG's bet here is so weak that I probably put him all-in and make him think "He's reacting to my weakness, I have QQ, he's just reacting to my weakness, so therefore, I call." I think this line works out fairly well.

I think smooth calling sucks here as UTG shuts down unless he hits. Raising to 1800 is OK, but I think it reveals your hand too much.

it may reveal his hand but may get called by a donk draw too...I like raising here to 1600-1800...all in is fine but may scare him off...either way I think we're trying to get it in anyway possible

[mlagoo]

yeah i make it like 1600 here and dont fold. if it were a rainbow flop id prolly just call.

[FGators]

I've noticed more and more that on these types of flush draw/paired boards that a guy with a pocket pair will fold to a flop raise here but a lot of the time will check/call a turn thinking we are floating the flop with a flush draw and then trying to pick it up when he checks.

I'm in the call camp and then betting the turn if he checks (calling again if he fires turn)

I always call here. There's nothing in my pf range (given action, position and stacks) that I'm raising. I don't see a great deal of harm in letting the only possible draw draw cheap.

[DOTTT]

I decided to flat call this because I really thought I wasn't going to get paid of if I raise. There are still 2 people to act behind me and if one of them called with an ace I'll be able to get it in.

Button played a bit nitty during the rebuy period, his raise felt like "I have an A but want to find out where I'm at" raise. He still has about 7500 behind after the mini bet.
