i personally think a donkfecta is funnier

I like your hand, which is one of the reasons I was objecting to people saying it's not a trifecta. You had the best hand the whole way, capping the turn would have been spewtastic, and you may have gotten maximum value.

It's possible that leading the turn or bet-3-betting the river get more value against your opponent's range, but against the hand he actually held it looks like you won the maximum. And without a read + timing tells, an observer can't accurately put this guy on a range.

Ok saying "capping the turn would have been spewtastic" so it's still a trifecta is like saying bet/3betting gets you the most value and so it's still a trifecta.

A trifecta isn't about playing a hand optimally, and indeed it's probably often the wrong play... that's what makes it special. You have to have a great read on your villain, and playing the type of fish that you can pull it off on. That's what gives it lols value. Like "he was so bad I even pulled a trifecta on him."

Some people will bet/raise at any oppurtunity, nothingbeatsrock comes to mind. A trifecta is a status symbol or whatever. A camry is the best car for the money, but a BMW makes you baller.

How many streets did he check/raise?

What I'm saying is that all of these "rules" are arbitrary and worthless. A trifecta refers to check/raising 3 streets. Period. You can make up all the rules you want, and decide whether or not it "counts," but we're talking about a line that's almost always bad.

I believe I've gotten trifecta'd thrice in my poker career. I won all three of those hands. I'll still call those trifectas. But their trifectas in the way that having sex with your mom, sister, and daughter is a trifecta. It ain't something to brag about.

Yeah, but I have a badge and you don't.

To clarify, my point wasn't that LaPeste's hand is a trifecta because he played the hand well. It's a trifecta because he c/r'd 3 streets. He also happened to play the hand well (probably). So nitpicking the definition is particularly offensive in this case because it's like saying, "If he had played the hand worse, then it would count, but he didn't, so it doesn't." Whatever. c/r x3, imo.
