Trips in HU

[luvrhino]

This hand got me wondering about Flopping trips in HU action (i tried using the hand converter, but it wasn't working):

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.
