1-2 Live @ Rama.

First hand at table came in as BB.

Effective Stacks:

Hero - $200
Villain - $500
Rest - between $100 and $250 max.

Hero is BB with 2h 4s.

4 Players limp to villain on button who limps, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: 4c 4h 10d

Hero bets $8, folds to button who raises to $22, SB folds, Hero???

I want to get maximum value for my trashy trips. Villain in this hand is a solid player who grinds out a living @ Rama. At this point im putting him on a 10 or a mid range PP. I know what I did in this hand and it didn't work out the way I had wanted it to (didn't get the value I was looking for).

So, how would you extract max value from this villain?

Eh, I probably call and then donkbet the non-ten turn and see what he does

I hate this line sooo much...


I dunno first hand I probably call and check to him hoping for the check raise the turn, or I resmall raise him

[mtdesmoines]

A random 4 is certainly in the range of someone playing the button, but one would have assumed he'd raise from the button with trash, rather than just play it.

Anyway, I think I raise to $55 - $60 and fold confidently to a reraise from 80% of villains.

His raise looks like a feeler raise with mid-pp or 10x, I like Nobbir line, I probably call the $22 then bet $25 on the turn (and be willing to get it all in at any point). He'll probably call the $25 with a 10 in his hand, on the river I go value city and bet $60ish.

This is the line I took. I called the flop bet then led the turn for $35 when the Kd rolled off.

Villain QUICKLY mucked A 10 face up and shot me a dirty look .

My reasoning was normally donkbets confuse the hell out of opponents which leads them to simply call down. This being my first hand @ the table I thought this had a high chance of success, alas it wasn't.

Should I have checked the turn and let the villain hang himself some more with a bet so I can pop the turn or is donkbetting/leading generally the best play to extract value?

RR the flop really wasn't an option for me as I felt the board was pretty dry, most players will fold a mid PP / 10 in that spot to a substantial RR with no money in the pot and if I'm raised again I'm likely beat and going to get stacked.
