FTP $24 - trips early on, drowning on the river
No reads on the opponent - he's a losing player (-5% over 500 games). Did I play it well?

Re: FTP $24 - trips early on, drowning on the river
no. Why you c/r? c/r is a useful move for getting one bet of value out of a weak hand or air. Is that what you are hoping for on this type of flop with this type of hand? One small bet?
If you feel you need to put a bet out with this strength of hand (for value into tight ranges, or to protect against draws) I'd much prefer to lead the flop. Giving someone a chance to repop us with a weaker hand. Bascally, with the c/r you announce the strength of your hand and allow everyone to play correctly. As played, you ended up c/r very small? 100 into a 275 pot? Really serves not purpose that I can figure out. If you are worried about draws and are hoping to shut down the action with a c/r, you fail. If you are doing it for value....well, someone that can call a c/r for 150 can call a c/r for a lot more. Maybe even their stack. As for the rest of the hand, I think you played it fine.

Re: FTP $24 - trips early on, drowning on the river
I know i gotta be wrong here but i think you were ahead here on the river. I dont think he's calling flop and turn with a flush unless he had maybe a7s or something but i think he'd just fold the turn. I really dont think the 10 helped him either. Is he gonna call 300 with a 9 in his hand hoping the 10 hits on the river? I'm gonna say push river. (i bet i'm the only one that says anything like this. lol)

Re: FTP $24 - trips early on, drowning on the river
I'm pretty sure that I misclicked - meant to make it 250 on the flop. The villain prolly had some like 8x/99/A9/AT/TT, or maybe some kind of a combo draw. However, I could not see myself being good here more than 30% of the time.
