how to play 3 of a kind?

Continue playing the hand cautiously. Bet and if he calls he may be on a draw. If he raises he may have hit two pair or his straight. Try getting to the showdown as inexpensively as possible if he has a potential hand that can beat you. You can always fold; but if his raise is not out of line try staying to hit the boat and reraise when hes committed to the pot.
