100NL BB special (trips)

[Halv]

I think I am way too passive in hands where I'm OOP and I don't really know where I stand. Should I lead river here? What about turn?

As played I was planning to call any river bet.

it looks like you are in to counterplay, or something.. its pretty satisfying to get people to try and bluff you out of hands, and catching them.

however in this case i like to bet somewhere. it looks like th guy has 77 or some mid pp. i like a bet somewhere.. in this case i usually bet the flop. i almost always take the initiative with trips, because a lot of people think im trying to steal the pot, and dont give me credit for trips. i think the standard play is a c/r on the flop with trips.. many thinking players think im trying to steal..

I raise the flop to 15... play the turn carefully... and on that river i definetely bet. I mean seriously, you're beat by 5x and 66, which is plausible but you're going to have to call a substantial bet (which for some reason didn't occur) on the river so make a bet of like $10.
