value bet with trip aces on board

[Ginogino]

Mike:
Clearly yes. The only question in my mind is whether you'd make more by checking to induce a bluff (that is, how often your opponent will call if you bet versus how often he'll bluff if you check). This is very player specific, of course. But most of the time EP's limp pre-flop means he doesn't hold pocket pair 8's or higher, and odds are against his holding an Ace. I'd think you'd have heard a bet from someone with a 7. Pocket 6's? Maybe, but worrying about that seems unhelpful.

This is a spot where player knowledge really pays off. I know folks who'd are slowplay addicts with any Ace in this situation, against whom I'd give more thought to checking here. I know others who'd have had to check-raise at some point before the river with any pocket pair, 7, or 4.

I assume you're talking about the river. How can he check to induce a bluff if he's last to act?
