Can I avoid going broke here?

[jenson]

I suspected that villain had pocket rockets. Should I have folded my trips? Is folding preflop a better move? I thought about it but couldn't do it. Should I? Any input is appreciated.

I had just sat down at the table and had no reads. Villains stats ended up like this:
VP$P 39%
PFR % 9%
AGF 2.91
74 hands
