The trouble with triples

Readers of a certain vintage who are also sci fi fans will recognize that the title of this post was inspired by a classic Star Trek episode, "The Trouble With Tribbles". Last night, I had a lot of trouble with triples. That is, every time I had trips or a set, I ended up losing. A quick reminder: trips are when your hole cards are of different denominations, and one of them matches a pair of board cards; a set is when your hole cards are paired, and match one of the board cards. Here's a summary of my tale of triples woe:

hand 32: my three of a kind, jacks (a set) lose to a queen high straight; I lose $14,200 on the hand

hand 37: my three of a kind, jacks (trips) lose to a king high straight; I lose $19,600 on the hand

hand 53: my three of a kind, aces (trips) lose to a ten high flush; I lose $3,375 on the hand

Add them up, and I lost $37,175 on busted triples - nearly a full starting stack's worth. I didn't go on tilt, though, and ground away until I was able to realize a small profit.
