I don't understand why you fold on the river when you're getting 4:1 w/ trips.

Are you worried about trips w/ a better kicker, or a small pair that boated?

I know the flat-call by MP2 on the end tells you you're in 2nd place at best, but what hands are you worried about?

Thanks.

PF call is horrible, especially if you're bad enough to fold on the river getting 4-1 when you have trips.

Why are we checking back turn if we're folding river? Is bet/fold turn better than checking thru and folding river?

also if youre that scared if youre getting called on the flop, and with a safe turn...why are you even raising the flop...basically turning your hand into a bluff....why not just keep the pot smaller if youre gonna stop the action like that and fold later??
