Trip aces on the flop - no idea how to proceed

I would bet/ raise untill someone raised back at me. as long as noone re raises you i think your hand is good. anyone with a better hand would bet anyway, and you have to call so you lose your money anyway. you have to bet and collect from the worse hands that will call you. The only thinkg you should have done differently is bet the turn.

Please bet the turn, always.
 

You MUST bet the turn. There are tons outs against you, and you need to give them the opportunity to fold.

Not betting the turn cost you a lot of "theory money".

I would either bet or check-raise the flop. Most likely bet since I can't be too sure if someone will bet or not. I'd continue betting until I run into resistance, then deciding what do to.

You have to bet the turn here, your hand is very very strong with AAA out there and as far as you know you are way ahead until someone plays back at you, people like to think you are bluffing at these and call down with Ace high.

If someone thinks I'm bluffing here and calls me down with A-high, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Hehe has happened to me, but I think it is more of a headsup thing.

Maybe you missed it, but it's kind of hard for someone to call me down with A-high on this board.

i bet that turn always. The flop raise was good play, the turn was weak. Glad to see you pull yourself together on the river but you lost a few bets.
