Trips

[btimm]

Villain is 25/18/3 over 2600 hands, but despite the high AF, checkraises flops less than 2% of the time (6/351). I have standard TAG numbers at the table, about 20/17/3 over 100 hands. What do you do in this spot?

Hero ($214.75 in chips)
SB ($51.80 in chips)
BB ($103.15 in chips)
UTG ($43.75 in chips)
UTG+1 ($201.15 in chips)
CO ($95.50 in chips)

Dealt to Hero [6d 8d]

2 folds, CO calls $1, Hero calls $1, SB calls $1, BB checks

*** FLOP *** [6c 6s Js]

SC checks, BB checks, CO bets $3, Hero raises to $12, BB raises to $40, CO folds, Hero ???

I know we have trips here, but since villain almost never checkraises AND the original bettor is still left to act, this line seems so strong to me.

I don't really like the flop raise too much, but I think I just jam... he can have 62-67 and think its the nuts, he can for some reason have a draw that didn't wanna coldcall your raise but didn't wanna fold.

[btimm]

Why don't you like the flop raise? The raise itself or the size? We are in a 4-person pot, I really don't want to make it cheap for flush draws...

[thac]

You're blowing everything out of the pot because you don't want someone to draw for cheap. Every Jx is gonna fold, most draws probably will too.

I don't mind the flop raise, but I'd make it smaller (to around $10).

If you stove your hand against a range of 6x you still have 39.3% equity. Given that he'll probably occasionally turn up with something else, and that he might just flat with a 6 sometimes, I'd just stick it in here.

[DODGYKEN]

After thinking about this more I agree that the flop is better to call. If we had A6 it's better to raise.

[Fuzzy Logic]

Villain does not always have the FD. Our raise only folds out a lot of his range that we want to continue. So, basically, what thac said. As played I just shove
