    Default Flopped Trips. How do i carry on?

    Ok this started as a semi-steal semi positional raise to LAG it up. I have been playing very tight and aggressive preflop becomming more passive post flop as this table is betting hard with weak hands.
    Villain is loose/passive -50% flops 0% PFR

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    UTG ($9.74)
    UTG+1 ($3.97)
    MP1 ($6.14)
    MP2 ($0.61)
    CO ($4.95)
    Hero ($4.97)
    SB ($2.87)
    BB ($4.38)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, T.
    UTG calls $0.02, 4 folds, Hero raises to $0.12, SB calls $0.11, BB calls $0.10, UTG calls $0.10.

    Flop: ($0.48) T, T, 3 (4 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $0.20, SB folds, BB raises to $0.60, UTG folds, Hero thinks....

    I just call. No need to tell him you have the T yet. He might be on a bluff here and you can extract more money if he leads the turn. If he has a better hand than you(33 or T bigger kicker), you probably aren't going to be able to get away from it later anyway, so call and slowplay it like its the nuts imo.

    I just call the check-raise since I'm in position.

    Don't give a free card on fourth, though, that's fishy.

    Good to know i was right. I called it to see what heppened later and because i figured all the money was going in and i didnt want to scare away weaker hands.

    River: ($4.68) T (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $2.75 (All-In), BB calls $2.16 (All-In).

    Final Pot: $9.59

    On the river i figured he would probably just call an amount i bet so i figured if i bet into his weak check he might think i thought he was weak and trying to make him fold so i just chucked it in expecting him to call (from previous betting rounds) .
    Is an all-in correct here on the river or should i have raised the turn or ?

    You just made 2nd nuts on the turn and your opp is playing aggro - good smooth call.

    When he checks on the river, you're either going to get the rest of his stack or you're going to get nothing. Push = teh awesome.
