You were absolutely correct not to raise the flop. You don't want to drive out people in this case, you want them to come along and boost the pot up.

Of course the turn raise is standard.

I believe the river raise is standard. MP3 probably just made trip kings and didn't want to go for a checkraise for whatever reason.

Nice hand, perfectly played IMO.

On the turn I figure you have 6 clean outs to the st8 and 1 for the backdoor flush. Your getting 6.5-1 on a 5.6-1 draw so good call. I'm curious. Why you would want to raz the flop if the previous player hadn't raised? Are you trying for a free card? I would probably just call to get some calls behind.
