Perfect.
The 9 hasn't been counterfeited by the river so you can bet more if you like.

Uh huh.

I like your play here. However, I hope this line isn't TOO standard, meaning that I hope you adjust your standard line to the situation. When you hit trips with a PP on a board of say, AJ6, I think it is better to slow play them and try to get a check raise in on either the flop or the turn. Of course, this probably depends on the level you play. But at the 11s, people get WAY too attached to top pair and other not-so-great hands.

Given the board, I like the line you took a lot though. I think you are actually likely to get more action by going ahead and taking the lead, as you did. Nice hand.

I don't think that's the accurate meaning of "counterfeited."

you failed to get the maximum when your opponent turned 3 pair
