    How would you have bet on this? I had no idea what I was doing. I checked the flop because I figured noone hit anything worth calling (pair of 2's? lol), and maybe someone would try and bluff if it checked all the way around.

    Thanks!

    In a real cash game... you played it well. For play money... You can probably value bet 3/4 pot size each street and be fine.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    Luck is a Residue of Design.

    Actually, I'd probably bet 1/2-Pot on the flop only because there are a lot of people in the hand and there is a flush draw possible. I would hate for my trips to be knocked down by giving a free card and somebody hitting the flush...

    Thanks gents!

    "In a real cash game... you played it well. For play money... You can probably value bet 3/4 pot size each street and be fine."

    I only play in play money because I'm dirt poor , so I appreciate the real money advice too (practicing how I should be playing, not just all in on bottom pair like most in play money ).



    Thanks for the advice!
