When do you cool off... when you have rolled up trips? Example hand: I am dealt trip aces and complete. As per usual at a low stakes, crazy-loose table, I get a million callers (actual number of callers: 6).
I lead the betting on all rounds until 6th street. Each time I fire off a bet, I am called by most of the players, losing one here and there. By sixth street I have not improved, but the two players in with me have nothing notable on their boards from what I can tell. Suddenly one player starts to lead the betting with a scattered board of Kh Jh 8s Ks. He's showing me just a pair of kings and two possible flush draws, in other words.
When he leads out here, do you raise? Upon further review I think I should have - I was very likely ahead in the hand and had a lot of outs to improve if I wasn't. I flat-called, mainly because I don't know stud that well yet.
On 7th street he bet out again. Now I suspected he was just trying to get a cheap showdown for two pair or something, but I flat called again because my trips hadn't improved. The trips won the hand at showdown - I expected they would, actually. This is more a theoretical question than a "what did he have" type question. He showed kings up. |

| I'd wait for the big bet rounds to start raising, the chance of boating up by 7th street is just too good, and trip aces a lone will hold up against a few opponents. |

I find some people to be aggressive in the term of "I know you were raising, but now I'm going to show you I'm not afraid".
I find in the lower stakes, people give no respect to the opening raise and look to pair up and assume you were just raising with 2's in the pocket |
