Hero bets $0.66,
BB calls $0.66,
CO calls $0.66
I think cbetting is OK here:
- I thought BB would have to play straightforwardly
- This board hits my range well and is somewhat drawy

Hero checks,
BB bets $1.52,
CO folds,
Hero calls $1.52
I checked here and I don't know if it makes sense. I did it because we are still 3way and I wanted to see what BB would do. Also, some of my value hands don't mind giving a free card. What I don't like here is the fact that if BB bets here, I think he's unlikely to be bluffing 3way and so I'm not thrilled with my AT, but maybe this argument is invalid because it basically means: "what I don't like about this spot is the idea of having to fold my trips" - Long story short: I'm confused.
River
($6.24)

(2 Players)
Hero checks,
BB bets $4.66, and is all in,
Hero folds
I feel OK about folding here because I believe my getting to the river range is very strong: 88, AQ, AA and AK are in my range, not always but still.
I feel much better folding trips here than I did folding AA in the previous hand I posted. Good fold or not?
