Default BB Special - made trips

I have 8 hands on the villan, he's played 4, raised 2 pf, hasn't shown down anything.

Is this a terrible call on the turn?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 6 handed) converter

MP ($24.5)
CO ($28.65)
Button ($30.3)
SB ($180.11)
Hero ($47.85)
UTG ($14.65)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($2) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets $1.12</font>, CO calls $1.12, SB folds, Hero calls $1.12.

Turn: ($5.36) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $2</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, MP calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">CO goes all in ($25.03)</font>, Hero calls $23.03, MP folds.

River: ($38.39) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: $38.39

First, if there's ever a hand in which posting the river is tantamount to posting the results, this is it.

Without using the river card to give a response, I would say more often than not you're up against a smaller kicker, Ax or A6 than you are AA, 66 or A5. Yeah, I push here too.

don't forget about the most likely hand that beats hero, 56.

Don't minraise.

Yea, lol sorry.

Villan flipped over Ax, clearly didn't have a 5 heh.

The minraise was before anyone had shown any strength and to get as much $ in the pot as I could. I didn't suspect any strength at all until CO pushes.

At which point I'm delighted. I put villain on just an Ace here myself as I read the hand history. I think this is a rare case where the min raise is effective in that the villain sees the raise as a weak attempt at strength and trys to push you off the hand.
