Re: My introduction hand - are they slowplaying trips?

I picked this hand because I had a hard time putting my opponents on specific hands but my intuition ended up being almost correct.

You never try to put your opponent on a specific hand, but rather on a range of hands. You then analyze this range against your own holding and the percentage of the hands you beat in relation to the pot size (and also your chance to improve your own hand if you are indeed behind). This is all a very rough estimate, of course.
You postflop play throughout the hand was well done. I don't like the preflop call, though. I don't think there are enough limpers or cold colders in the hand to warrant a cold call here. Though as always a lot of this depends on the tightness of the blinds and various reads, etc.
Personally I would like at least two more limpers or cold callers in the pot before I call here. At the very least one more.
Btw, did the villian have K2?
