Just call the 600 and pray VILLAIN does not have AK or KK - worst case you only lost 840 on trips A, MANY WOULD HAVE GONE BROKE.

Ask your self what can you beat vs an EP who raised PF (7hands), paying 440 to win 820 on the river 2:1, you have 400 invested in the pot, Can you afford the call? (somewhere around 15% of your stack).

Snap fold sir.

[panulay]

check-call all the way.

 think its better to bet/fold..

River ..

[arvyt]

since you didn't squeeze at BB c/c all the way

[ajbazooka]

tama lang ba na nagcheck ako sa flop o dapat nagbet ako to see where i stand. i mean, if u were the villain and holding 99-QQ, would you fold to a bet on the flop?

para sakin ok ang play mo bro.. flop check/check..turn bet, river bet/fold..
pag villain ako i will call siguro your flop donkbet, then evaluate turn..pro im not a tourney player tlaga so take my advice w/ a grain of salt.

River ..

if you're willing to put in money, why not check-call and get to showdown?

pero sa line ni aj, id bet fold that river too kasi nag bet sya sa turn.

[panulay]

sakin naman magiging passive ako dito. alam mo ba yung way ahead/way behind na concept? it's on the net. google it. this is one of those spots na you're either way ahead or way behind.

your hand has value, pero not that much. a bet would just fold out the hands that you beat -- which you'd rather keep around and let fire a bluff at you. so if only hands that beat you would continue, you'd rather keep the pot small and get to showdown.

thanks sa comments mga sir. ended up calling the raise after tanking for a while. villain had JJ. should have folded. tsk.
