Hello,

I played the following hand some minutes ago. I flopped trips with a weak kicker, which I usually checks on the flop to see what happens behind me. Is that play too weak/passive? Should I play here more aggressive? Maybe I lost the pot already there. How would you play it on the flop??

I like your play. You were going to get all his chips if he didn't hit that 2 out river.

Hmmm... So I will lose my money again and again with that type of hand...


Thanks for your advice, guys.

No, you will win 21 times out of 22 when he doesnt hit his 2 outer.
