$3 sng? bet/call flop, do your best to get it all in

as played call river, he can show up w/ a missed draw or some stupid random ace that was trying to run you over, and he doesn't know he's actually bluffing

I'm not folding trips much in a $3 sng without some prior knowledge that my opponent is good, and I have good reasons from the way the hand has played out that I am beat.

neither seem to be evident here. 90% of players at this level are complete muppets. always call here.

trips queen is tough to fold
but a limp form MP might suggest a queen and you're probably out kicked
you play it very passively too, if you check-raise or lead the turn, you might find if your kicker is good and you'll find if your opponent is trying to push you around with a random bluff

as played, I think you should still call

hope that helped you

Your hand is so under-repped here, I probably CRAI on the river. Never fold here pls.

Can you explain why that seems like a fold to you? I'm not seeing it.

Tough Spot? The only tough decision is whether to time bank before you move all-in or snap shove.
