Yep folding trips is almost as easy as folding a high pair I mean if you're beat, you're beat.......it always depends on the person you are playing against and the board cards and the size of the bets/raises, etc..........but if you know you're beat beyond a shadow of a doubt, why stay in?

If you really look at the way that hand played out I mean he raised after the flop signifying that he most likely had the board beat....then when the turn came off his reaction pretty much gave it away as to either he was holding AK, AA or KK. He wouldn't have stabbed at the king on the turn if he had been holding QQ, so you really just gotta think about how the hand played out and make a good judgment decision. I wouldn't normally recommend just calling his flop bet but since he had the board beat, you actually saved some money by not re-raising in that situation.
