Well this is just an unlucky spot, if you bet the flop you're getting raised with the open ended str8 flush draw and if you check I imagine you're doing it with the intention of checkrasing, so I don't really see you getting away from this hand in particular. Just unlucky there.

I echo the sentiment here. You were doomed once he led out on the flop. I would have shoved in that spot, too
If he checks the flop, you have the option of playing it a bit safe with the possible flush draw on the board. But the way it played out, it was inevitable.

This just makes zero sense. If you fold pre then you dont flop trips creating a possible paradox and this thread never being created. ****ing duh.

Well we do have the chance to draw to 2 flush draws since we have an unsuited pocket pair. But I agree that it is a fold preflop seeing as we have a mid pair and 92% of the time there are overcards and we only flop a set 4% of the time.

You are and idiot, that makes no sense, the chances of a 7 coming on the flop increase when you fold preflop.

You know, I did not consider the chance of a thread being created from the hand...that makes me lean towards calling even more actually
But to address Marginal's point, I also didn't notice that we have two chances of flopping a flush. Imagine 2 flushes for a hand? I'm pretty sure that beats a royal flush so our implied odds have to be huge

If we change our mind and dont call then quickly change our mind again and call, then the flop will have changed and we might flop trips and he flops not trips.

The only problem is our chance of flopping a royal flush is reduced to close to 0%

You are right but what is the optimal time to wait before calling to ensure we flop triplets?

Ya itmakes a ton of sense to bluff the royal, he would give us respect 100% of the time.

I dont think theres an exact time. Best is to go to click it as normal and then stop for a second and youve got more chance of hitting trips.

They are calling stations tho and he might think he has equity or doesnt know that a royal is the best hand and he cant beat it.

Ok Ill try that, I usually wait 4.3 seconds but I havent hit very many trips recently so I think its worth a shot waiting a bit longer.
Any other things I should know about increasing my chance of hitting trips other than holding 3 of the same card?

Yea I agree fully. I think we get him to fold cause he never has better.

Well its actually possible to flop trips with most hands, so using more tripable starting hands give you a better chance. I think hands like AK flop trips way more often than 23 cos they are higher and attract good flops.

Yeah you're starting to think on the right line.
