Without a read I don't like your flop raise.

this kind of thinking is not viable here since there's no reasonable hand you can have that beat trips on this board. Your hand doesn't look stronger in his eyes when you bet this turn.

BTW don't like the flopraise.

I like yor flop raise here and think your line is just fine. IMO folding river seems like the right move in a small pot like this though a decent read on the guy may shed some light on his play and want you to call

You took it this far, so call the river. He's betting busted flush draw enough of the time...
