 I use Renton's article as a crutch when I'm unsure of how to play a certain hand, but I think he's missing a tricky one by leaving out trips. I tend to check the flop if I hit trips (and I wasn't the preflop raiser obviously) because if I bet then the only calls i'm gonna get is from better hands. Is this the right play? I don't find myself winning any big pots with these hands because a lot of action often means i'm beat. How the heck do I build a pot against losing hands in this situation? (I have trouble from any position in the hand, that's why I didn't specify too much about the situation)

I find hitting trips can be dangerous. You think you have a great hand, but too often you're weak. When I hit on the flop and its a drawy board I'm betting high - make them pay for it. It all depends on the person you're playing against though.

I'm assuming sets...
