My feeling (and I play $10NL) is that it's far, far better to win a small pot (and you're wasn't that small 35bb) than lose a big one.
Also, about paired boards in general I'll be alot more wary of a board with paired K's (especially in a raised pot) then one with paired 3's.
Ok - thanks, I would agree with both of you. Its my EV that Im concerned about - betting too hard my ruin .my +EV.

Take a look at a this hand in which I turn trips and then simply inform villain by betting. Villain could have been on anything (loose caller station) - 2 overcards, A 5, flush draw - so maybe i should have checked hoping a good card would come for vilain and keep the pot going?????

Trouble is i feels its wrong to slowplay in micro limits as the draws can be a killer.

cheers
