This was a tricky hand or me.
Preflop, i decided to simply complete. I figured that it's unlikely i will get an overpair, and if I do not hit, I'll have to make a relatively large contibet out of position.
The flop comes and i got trips. So i bet big for protection against draws.
On the turn, i decided to block bet. If he had a straight, he would likely be waiting to raise me on the river considering my aggression. I decided since i have 10 outs, plus a lot of implied odds, bet made sense. However, i think a call would have probably been better.

Hey bssjonny94,

Very likely TT is strong enough that you should be raising this up preflop. There is so much extra money in the pot that even if no-one calls it'll be very profitable.

Flop bet is good.

Very likely best option on turn is to check and use your hand as draw to a full-house + bluffcatcher. You don't really want to bet and get raised here.

As played river bet is ok, but the situation actually becomes super borderline vs a raise since a lot of guys won't raise a straight on paired board but are raising all better full-houses. Only reason I might call is because UTG looks bad, but vs a lot of regulars you can actually make the fold here.
