I'm going back and forth on the flop bet. It's a draw heavy board and I'd want to protect it against multiple players. The question is whether or not leading out or check-raising is best. I think I'd lean toward a check-raise here expecting somebody to bet the flop. Plus, I wouldn't want my bet to be called by the BB or MP and thus creating odds for others to come along.

I can't believe the villain filled up on the river. If he did, oh well. There are too many other possibilities of trips, two pairs, and draws for me to fold here. I'd go ahead and push given that he's pot committed.
