I have QTs
the flop comes 6-6-Q with one card of my suit
some guy bets
I try to find out if he has trips, so I raise
he threebets so he obviously has trips

but then I look at the pot, a lot of people are involved that are dead money
they will probably call since they called my reraise

I have a few outs: two queens or two running clubs
The pot is around 10SB and two people are still yet to act behind me
If I want to draw to two running clubs, I'll first have to call this bet
then one bet on the turn
and then I can raise on the river if I hit it or fold if I don't

is it worth drawing?

I ended up calling on the turn when I got my flush draw
and we capped the pot on the river when I made the flush

of course I could have been drawing dead on the turn

good decision or bad decision?

Here's another one.

I am the big blind with 96o
I check
three people in the pot

SB bets a 6-j-t flop
I raise to see what kind of hand he has and possibly to make him fold
both the limper behind me calls
and the raiser
on the turn: k
everyone checks
on the river: 6

I made three of a kind and with only three people in the pot, I figure it's a small chance someone has the other six, except for maybe the guy who raised and then called me on the flop since he was SB

he bets
I raise
the limper calls
the SB threebets
I cap
SB calls

shows Q6

I figured that since 9 is favored to win against a random kicker I should cap the pot - since there were no flushes or straights

I just had trips with a nine kicker... I didn't go crazy, and he had a worse kicker
I wonder what the correct play is

I would say that the draw is fine, but I dunno how to calculate your outs considering his redraw to a fullboat.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

GOD DAMN IT THERE IS NO GOOD WAY TO PLAY THREE OF A KIND ON A PAIRED FLOP

today I had these things happen:
full house against me (pair in the hole)
better kicker
worse kicker
second pair against me

I don't ever know if I'm ahead or behind... of course all of these raised and reraised the pot when I was in it...
