do you play them?

when I hit my trips, I still get my ass kicked all the time by straights and what not.

I'm not sure if it can be profitable.



I play low limits btw (0.15/0.3)

If I can get in cheap with them then yes and hope to flop a set. Although of course as you said, thats no guarentee of actually winning the hand, but more often than not you should do.

Also in shorthanded games?

Depends, on how many players are in the pot, if its raised, my stack etc etc. Its one of those things that depends purely on the situation.

oppinions on full ring $1/2 limit please.

How many callers do you need preflop to call low pp's?

PT shows that I am making money on all PP's down to about 55. 10 10 is the only aberation where I am negative.......probably too aggressive with it.

You need to get in cheap and preferably in a multi-way pot.

I have been raising down to 10-10 regardless of position.....well not quite rasing 10-10 in EP.......probably MP on.

all others are limps unless I am in LP where I may raise depending on the action in front of me down to about 77.

Folded to me in LP I am raising practically any PP.
