25 NL flop trips, enough value?

[Kazimyrch]

Villain is decent reg, certainly not calling too much. Should I have bet more on turn and river, because an A is likely to call?

IMO you played this super bad. I am betting 2.25 on flop, and will bet close enough to pot on turn to set up a river shove without it looking way overboard.

I appreciate your comments, one learns most from harsh criticism. Just trying to find my way in cash. Still find it hard to find amounts for betting.

Bet sizing is fine, you could bet 3/4 pot on flop, but I usually bet 1/2 on dry boards like this. The mistake is checking the turn. You have position, so there's no reason to slowplay.

Bet at least $2 on flop, and bet 2/3 pot on turn, but he's probably folding an Ace here..

If you check turn, which you did, you need to bet about $4.50 on river to get more value b/c he may think you were floating the flop since you checked turn. .

bet more on the flop, at least 2 2.25 is better
bet that turn he still calls you with a A
bet more on the river he will call you with an A

No, bet sizing is terrible here. OP didnt get anywhere near enough value.

I agree, bet sizing here is not good. Sometimes i'll throw a half pot size C-bet with air against a tight opponent because they will usually fold, but if you have a hand you want some value. Need to go at least 2/3 pot here, 3/4 recommended. This guy calls flop with Ax, Jx, KQ maybe, pocket pair. I think this range calls for a turn bet, and of course a good value bet on river.
