Because I'm betting so small here I must fold to the river raise right? If I had only tptk it would've been an easy turbo fold but I had trips and didn't even see the str8 potential-sloppy play by me. Given this is the weekend I shouldn't have limited his range of cards based on his preflop min raise. No read.

Other than my river call is the "small-betting-fold-to-big-raise"(value betting) line ok here? Other lines would be 1) a real slowplay not protecting and 2) almost pot betting?

With such a draw heave board, you REALLY need to bet more on the flop and turn.

If you're planning on betting small like this, you really can't pay him off if he hits, because otherwise you're giving him proper implied odds. Just get as much money in as you can with the best of it.
