Blinds are 75/150 with a 15 ante
UTG (9763)
UTG +1 (10,468)
UTG +3 (10,495)
Hero BTN (5,351) Js8d
BB (2,240)
Preflop
UTG raise to 300, UTG+1 Calls, UTG+3 Calls, Hero Calls, BB calls
Thinking: Obviously this is a very loose call with the J8o but given the pot odds and the fact that the people in freerolls are playing any 2 and are very easy to play against postflop I choose to make a call in position.
Flop (1,710): Jh Jd 6h
UTG continues for 570, UTG+1 folds, UTG+3 calls, Hero calls, BB folds
Thinking: I flop trips which is great for me in this hand. UTG leads out for 570, and he has been very spewy thus far. I did not think he had much of a hand at this point and was on a flush draw or just a pure bluff. UTG+3 flats and I know he has something worth calling and is never floating with air. I probably should have raised at this point in the hand but I decided to flat as UTG is likely to spew off more chips on later streets.
Turn (3,420): Ah
UTG bets again 1/3 pot for 1140, UTG+3 jams, Hero?
Thinking: At this point in the hand I don't think my hand is good, and it feels like a trivial lay down with trips. My 8 kicker is not likely to be good if someone has a jack, and they could also have flushes or boats that beat me. At this point my hand is essentially a bluff catcher that can beat the spew these guys might have. The only problem I had was I knew these guys could be spewing off chips with random hands in this format and trips could be good some percentage of the time. Should I be folding trips here in this freeroll format?
