This hand is from a Fifty/50 SnG on pokerstars, which used to be one of my favourite formats, until they raised the rake. I still play them occationally though, and this hand is mostly for LOLs. First of all just fold a weak suited K preflop, when you are in HJ, especially in this game, where there is no ante in the early levels, and you are a short stack. And second just because its a paired board does not mean, that now you get to go crazy with complete air and lead out (donk bet) for full pot.

I am not giving any credit to such a line, because I think, that when people actually flop trips, then they almost always check to the preflop raiser to let him C-bet, or maybe they lead but for a much smaller size, because obviously the goal is to get action, when you have a very strong hand. The turn card was not ideal, since it completed all the draws, but he had less than a half pot sized bet left, so whatever :)

Yeah some people don't really seem to have a clue. 🤣

But we should be glad those players still play. 😁
