    Default Flopped trips on scary board - unsure what to do on turn

    Villain was 26/7/37 over 95 hands. All I had noted on him was that he was capable of folding on a scary board, which I felt was unusual for a 2nl fish.

    It's the turn bet I'm more concerned with. It was pretty obvious by the river he would have had a flush/full boat.

    3bet the flop i think. make it something like $1.40. you're just so far ahead of his range (3 combos of 66 have you beat) and his minraises make me think he's probably terrible. also makes him have to pay/play a flush draw OOP on a paired board in a bloated pot the times he has one. allow him to make the mistakes.

    The thing about good hands on scary boards is that the board is often scary for the opponent as well. Put your villain on a range of hands and think about how the money goes in here and how it doesn't. If your opponent has AK here do you think it's better to raise the flop or wait? What about if he has JJ-KK? he did 3bet you pre flop so why are you worried about a flush draw on the flop?
