This hand got me wondering about Flopping trips in HU action (i tried using the hand converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi), but it wasn't working):

Creating Main Pot with $8680 with luvrhino
** Summary **
Main Pot: 8680 |
Board: [ 3c Qd Qs 5s 9c ]
luvrhino balance 8680, bet 4340, collected 8680, net +4340 [ Jh
Qh ] [ three of a kind, queens with jack kicker -- Qh,Qd,Qs,Jh,9c ]
opp balance 1320, lost 4340 [ Ts Qc ] [ three of a kind,
queens -- Qc,Qd,Qs,Ts,9c ]
First of all, would anyone here ever think about folding trips in HU? I would if i got trips with no kicker or the board was coordinated with my similarly stacked opp going All-in.
My other question regards how to maximize one's stack after Flopping trips. I wanted this to lead to an All-in. If i lost, then i lose. I realize i should have just gone All-in after the re-raise on the Turn, but i'm lazy and the min-raise button was so much more convenient than the slidy bar or something. Anyway, if i'm first to act, i should simply check on the Flop or bet?
I figure that most people are checking in this situation with a bet meaning that i probably paired the non-paired part of the Flop or that i'm bluffing. If the board is fairly coordinated, i bet the trips right away to make draws unprofitable.
I realize that i was fortunate here in that my opp also got trips, but with a kicker just less than mine.
