Re: was this played poorly?
"Personally I would have capped the flop because I want control. You're on the button and you very well may have the best hand."
Definitely true...KK may be the best hand and I think is probably the best hand...especially on lower limits, most people who flop trips in that situation will not come that alive from early pos like that...most go for the check-raise or will wait till the turn. I put him on a mid to high pair (77-TT, excluding 99 obviously)
"Once the AA hits you are dust without a doubt."
Given above though, A5 is really the only other hand you have to worry about. I think you're actually probably ahead at this point, although the fact that he's ramming it the whole way would worry me. Lot depends on your read of the opponent. That's why a cap on the flop is probably so important. If he comes out firing on the turn, then you can probably lay it down with more confidence.
