200NL - Flopped TPTK on paired board: should I raise somewhere?

[tbaarslag]

No stats on villain yet, he seems loose.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (6 handed)

Hero ($197.00)
UTG ($67.15)
MP ($185.00)
CO ($167.10)
Button ($207.60)
SB ($127.88)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls $2, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: ($5) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $5</font>, Hero calls $5.

Turn: ($15) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $12</font>, Hero....

Do I get to a showdown by check/calling or do I have to raise somewhere?

If we raise for value, what street and why? Thanks.


Edit: 2p != trips

[ofishstix]

id bet out the flop. as played, im probably checking and calling down.

[oh boy]

trips?

[keikiwai]

you flopped two pair top kicker

[AFennewald]

don't raise. Yeah check calling seems ok. I might fold on the river though.

[tbaarslag]

Sorry; I fear trips, of course...

[nazahl]

please don't raise.

I'd probably fold the turn since he limped the CO (read- passive) and just potted 2 streets on a scary board.

#1 raise preflop
#2 either raise or fold the flop. calling wont give you any information. by raising you save money on later streets if he shows strength or you can take the pot right there
