$ 11 pot to the flop. Everyone checks to the raiser, me. I bet a buck to see where I’m at and get check raised by the SB. Pot is now $14. ( I probably should have taken a free card with the hand I had)

Here’s my thought process. If he’s got trips, I’ve still got some outs. Backdoor straight flush draw or running kings. And I’m getting 14 to 1 for my dollar, so I call.

Upon reflection this was a marginal call at best, My original thought was to beat trip Q’s, I might have a chance, but he could have easily had KQ hurting my outs.

Now the Td falls on the turn and I’m feeling a whole lot better with a straightflush draw. I call $2 hoping he doesn’t have AQ or QT.

8s on the River. I haven’t played him before so I paid him off to see what he cold called with preflop. (Qc 6c) Hmmm.

Any thoughts, comments or mild berating would be appreciated.
