OK basic history first, this has been a very active table alot of small pots, the odd big pot. SB has been in about every single one of them tbh. Id have liked to have been at about 3000 chips by this stage but because of the activeness of the table i deciced to take a back seat and play ULTRA tight. Only playing when i have the nuts or a strong bluffing spot (highly unlikley) anyways then this hand crops up.
Now since ive not played a single hand im unsure. Ive flopped the trips and SB has checked, with the button inbehind im not sure if i should check this street or if betting would be more optimal

What range would d limp on the dealer button? same with x? if you think they will fold if you bet would check, i'd prob bet about 300 if i am betting here
if this guy likes a bluff, check to him, and try to get him to put some money in on the turn river.
In need of chips so if you bet they fold thats fine, if you bet they call thats cool aswell as you will know more about your opponent. although i have mentioned i dont mind the check but is 3 way so more chance you can get outdrawn etc so start pot building/get them to fold aim to get it on turn if not flop
Once again we have 11bb. We don't need to build it. We can bet 2.5bb turn and still make an easy shove river. yeah someone may have 44 and bink a 4 turn but whatver.
betting out 300 does not loook like the nutz here as surely people with check with trips most of the time on such a dry board? possible we still get caller with pp which will be a result, Acex hands, someone with a 3, i think although its a dry board likely your get a caller still
Yeah I would also check this flop. Most of the time I like donking out with trips for deception and to prevent against draws. But as Scotty has said there are literally no draws out here and if you donk out it is very likely that it will go fold fold if your behind and you'll get action only if your (virtually) dead. The only exception to this where you would benefit from donking is if an opponent has a middle pair and the donk bet tells them you don't have a king. Would you think that either player would raise a PP pre-flop?
FWIW, although I am obviously going all the way with this hand at this stage if need-be, I am not ****-bent on a complete double up here. It's not impossible that someone else has a king and with the 3 out it looks like kickers are playing. So part of my reason for checking is also for pot control. If a complete brick (eg 5h, 7h) hits the turn I probably check again also but I would weak bet most turns and then again on the river.
If the guy on the button bets weak/normalish at the flop I will just call him down, again for pot control reasons. If he makes a large bet that you think a weakish player is incapable of making in this spot with a king then I would c/r all-in and expect to get a double up off a 3 or mid PP.
lol quality post!
I was confused and someone once told me never to play confused lol.
