Trips in 3-bet pot
Both villains are fish.
I decided to min 3-bet in order for the short stack to shove so I can 5-bet.
As played, what bet sizings shall I use, especially on the turn?
Do I continue betting small in order get more calls?

I dont like the min-3bet. With AA (or high pairs generally spoken) you better push Equity as much as possible. The $-amount utg+1 calls and possibly fold on the flop is pure and easy value! Another effect is, you isolate him. As played other players behind you join the pots making it a small spr pot oop multiway. This way it is harder to get it in against utg+1 on the flop because there are still 2 players left to act behind you which you have to take care of.
On the flop with trips-top-kicker you hit the virtual nuts considering that 22, 42, 44 are not around in this spot normally. No need to balance here, the spot is uncommon and multiway. Just go ahead, play it fast, valuebet/push out potential flushdraws or trips behind you and bet full pot and double-barrel pot on any safe turn.
I think the min-3bet is fine. It´s player dependant, but I think most of the time he won´t shove and you´ll be missing some EV. When he shoves though you´ll get a lot of EV.
Flop and turn I don´t see any reason to not bet. I think you´ll have the best hand more than 80% of the time. Just bet/bet/shove for value if the river isn´t a flush completing card.
"you´ll be missing some EV."
you miss EV when villain gets a cheaper prize to call his hands pre. (FTOP)
and EV(fold) of random non dominated hands is bigger than EV(4bet).
why you think villain would be shoving against a min-3bet but fold against a pot-sized 3bet? any experience with min-3betting?
I´m not saying he is folding against a pot-sized 3bet. It´s just that some other players might get trapped in a sandwich after they call PF like this guy on BB that would be leaving at least 7 extra bbs in the pot or someone could even 4bet a hand like AKK, AKQQ, idk.
That said, I´m not sure about this play though. Just saying it is worth considering especially when the original PFR is a maniac.
ok I understand, I thought u mean the BB.
yeah I am not sure too, but I guess depends on player left behind us to act if they are aggro pre. When they 4bet AAxx only, it does not matter cause we are allin pre anyways.
