Trips, but do we call?

**PokerWoody** · 5th December 2006, 09:50 PM

SB is 17/6/1 over about 125 hands. He's just moving up from NL100 and playing a little nitty. Do we call or fold?

What do you think about the turn raise?

Blinds: $1/$2
Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with 7

8

UTG folds, Hero raises to $8, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 8

T

8

($32, 4 players)
SB checks, BB bets $20, Hero raises to $65, Button folds, SB raises all-in $195.75, BB folds, Hero ??? ($127 to call)

Well you have kicker issues don't you. I fold. Maybe he has pocket tens? He probably has an 8 and you're roughly 50/50 with your kicker but he did call your preflop raise albeit from the BB, but it was still another 6 bucks to him.

Fold

Because he isn't going to bet out 20 there first to act with trip 8s and no draws to scare him

If I had to guess his hand - A,10?

You told me not to play suited connectors and here you are raising $8 pre flop with 78s!!

Anyway, I think a call here would be my play. Maybe he's played KK or AA withour raising pre flop and thinks that is enough. Maybe A T suited? With no flush draw I'd be tempted to call.

I mean you raised pre flop and that flop is as good as you could expect with raising with 78s, so call.
