here's a little SNG I was playing. So here i am with my trip 4's, i put in a 2/3 pot bet and this is the outcome. In any case, in general how do you make a proper play in this instance - am I to assume by the call and raise that my trips simply are no good, or do you guys generally take your chances ?

what do you think he had?

i was thinking after the hand (win or lose) - should i really consider folding as there's one call and then a huge reraise, or is this always a call in your books ?

Given your stack size after the 100 bet, you had no choice but to push. You are not going to get a much better chance to double up than with trips.
