Over slowplayed trips?

Did I over slow-play this set of sixes? I was going for the river raise to maximize EV for this sweet flop. To me there were no scare cards or likely draws developing so I wanted to keep MP2 along for the flop and turn.

Comments: See why this is so confusing for me? The winner (MP2) made a poor call on the flop while flopping a gutshot draw. He then picked up the open-ended straight draw on the turn which leads me to believe from his poor flop decision, he definately wasn't going anywhere on the turn, even if I made it 2-BB to him.

Would you guys in this situation do anything different, or was this just a case of a poor player drawing out on me?

While there is merit to slowplaying those sixes that long and its by no means incorrect, I think raising the turn is probably better, because now there's a two flush and two to a possible straight on the board and if someones going to draw out on me I want it to be expensive. But like I said, your method isn't wrong, you just got unlucky, but I think making draw outs long-run unprofitable (a turn call gives the other 2 proper pot odds to draw to an open-ender and a flush) is more important.

Just my 2 cents,
