How to now scare them when you have trips?

[Vannek]

I'm min betting because ther board doesnt look scary and more often than not someone might put me on a cheap steal and try a bluff, yet they always get scared when you bet for real

Don't bet .5 into a $6 pot and then all of the sudden get crazy on the turn. That is a HUGE giveway that you have a big hand are are testing it the waters...

This is an atypical hand since almost all the money is in the side-pot. In this case, since everyone at the table knows there's very little value in bluffing, a very small bet on the flop just to get what you can might not be so bad (though I'd still bet more than 1/12th the pot).

If there isn't an all-in player, bet a significant portion of the pot with this many opponents (at least 1/2). Making a tiny bet on the flop doesn't get enough value to offset the times that you let in a pocket pair that fills up on the turn and takes most or all of your stack (there's also a straight draw on board).

On the other hand, you're not likely to get much action from, say, a 9 no matter what. Take what you can get from them on the flop (which is usually more than $.50) -- while knocking out 22-88, etc. -- then shoot for a payoff from a worse Q.
