Message: [QUOTE="puzzlefish, post: 6245055, member: 307275"] First of all, the answer to the question in the title is "yes, but only if you have a better hand than them" This is one of those classic hands where you are doing the value betting for your opponent. The 3BB raise pre-flop is just not big enough to give you any idea of what this guy might have and, once you go to this particular flop, it's not a good texture for your hand. You just have to accept that when you see it and slow it down. As played, you haven't isolated his range well enough pre-flop to make your two pairs viable by the river. I don't even think aces or kings would stay for all three streets here (maybe a stretch for the ace of clubs?). It just happens that this time he spiked trips, but he can just as easily be drawing for a flush and just letting you bet away. [/QUOTE]
