Once again of my trips got action on the flop. I have a few questions to optimise my gains.

When Villain follows minbet/ reraise, I start to fear. A considered few
lines:
- fold: definitely too weak
- call: too drawy board for a call and I'm fearing the reversed implied odds.
- minraise to 1$: I'm fearing to show the strength of my end and to be readable. I wouldn't fold even on a spade. Maybe on a Q or a J. But it'd hard and nit. Not sure to want to do fancy move in microlimit.
- shove: last option, I chose it. We take money of all the hand like FD+pair, gutshot+pair, TT. Maybe even JJ and QQ if Villain is super aggro. And even if Villain has JQ, I still have many outs. The only hand that crushes me totally is AA slowplayed.

Which line would you choose (I guess the push) but even more why?

Hello EinsteinFranck,

We are not really getting away in those spots, he could easily even have 2pairs there or whatsoever and if he even has straight then we still have decent equity with our outs for FH.

Best Regards.

And what about the push? Don't you think I could make some weaker hands run away?

What kind of hands? :P Never if he has a made hand. Nor doesn't make sense to min-raise while he doesn't have much left.
