I ment You shouldnt push right away. If you have trips with a high kicker against a full house you will lose your stack anyway. You need to get weaker hands to pay you at the same time. Pushing doesnt achieve this



Its similar to playing QQ preflop. Yes you probably have the best hand but if you just push you are likely to win the blinds a few times until you run into KK or AA and lose your stack. If you play it a bit slower you can take JJ and AQ along for the ride. You will still lose a lot to AA and KK this way, but you will win more from lesser hands.
