I didn't raise flop because IMO it only folds hands I am beating. The board's virtually drawless. This seems kinda standard to me but maybe I'm just too passive at this level and against this type of opponent. But much of micro limit success lies in not giving rocks the action they want.

You hit trips on the turn and call, what exactly are you looking for on the river. Only a 5 or the case ace improve your hand. If you are going to fold the river, fold the turn.

That pretty much sums it up. If you're not going to see the hand through on the river, then there's no point calling the bet on the turn. Pretty standard stuff.

Villains turn bet is only 1/2 the pot and he doesnt have to have us beat here to make that bet. I dont mind calling turn with position here for that bet. On the river you have a clear fold as with these stats he isnt firing 3 barrels with a hand you beat. These players do sometimes fire 2 barrels though so i am happy to call a turn bet.
