I was trying to somewhat slowplay the flop in case he had AK and did not want him to fold if I raised too much on the flop. This is only the second time I have layed down trips like this in my life and have been right both times. His giant $5 bet on the river gave it away and I am just good at reading people.
I assure you that I am a winning player. My BB/100 is 18.79 for the last 20,000 hands.
