Re: Did I play these Trips right?
Were you intending to check-raise or smooth-call the flop? Either way, I'll most often bet out and hope it comes back to me raised so I can 3-bet. Slowplaying a set generally seems to be a bad idea... and slowplaying trips is a whole lot worse (even with a better kicker). Having said that, a rainbow flop of low cards and only 1 possible open ended straight draw makes things a bit less dangerous here -- especially if your opponents have decent pre-flop standards. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I could understand why you might wait for the turn.
