I only had about $50 to blow. I needed to sit down with more cash to play my game. Therein lies the main problem Mike, the trip wasn’t poker oriented. I only had about $50 to blow.

I like your raise, but on the flop I think $20 is weaksauce as you only have $20 behind. With 3 callers on the flop that makes the pot size $48 - you need to shove on the flop. If the K2 guy calls - fine, you got him where you want him. Same result, better play in my opinion. Sounds like you had about $52 to start the hand with.

I play regularliy with a mavrick player who would play a K2 offsuit when a 6x blind was put in which makes me play even tighter than usual. The only thing I may have done different is check after the turn with the low pair on the board. Pretty tough luck Grundy.
