Default How does everyone feel about this?

Recently two similar hands lurked in my thoughts after 2 live sessions. I regularly play live at a local venue that has about 6 tables, 5 limit and 1 NL table. What this means, is that everyone is relitively aware of how the next person plays, and only us more aware players are able to mix it up.

Anyways, the NL table is a 3/5 NL with max $500. The majority of the players are WORSE than loose-agressive, they are loose-ridiculous. Calling $100 preflop with suited connectors and weak hands like KJ offsuit.

Needless to say, you can't properly price people out for draws, namely flush but also straights as well (yes, gutshots too).

Anyhow, lately I've played 2 hands incorrectly that I wish I would have changed a few of my plays.

Both hands related to hitting trips on a paired board that has 2 suited cards on it. People relentlessly call bets flush and straight draws on paired boards and I want to know what everyone thinks of pushing people off of those hands. Obviously if you hit your boat or there is a double paired board, then you have no problem doing it, but what if a 3rd flush card hits and you dont boat?

I thought about doing this just to teach people a lesson, the most recent hand played out like this.

I have Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the BB and check my option with 4 limpers.

Flop comes 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] pot is $17.

SB checks, I bet $15, last position calls and SB calls.

Turn is 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Pot is $62. SB bets $35. I raise to $80, last position folds and SB calls.

River is a blank, he bets $80 into the pot, he has about $150 left behind him. I start to evaluate how we both played the hand and started to think of ways to win the pot.

I ended up flat calling for information (IE what cards he played, how big his flush was, why he didnt bet more, if he had the case 3)... but what I'm thinking is, in this case, because you shouldnt call reraises and continue playing draws on paired boards.

What do you all think of this play: I'm going to try it out next time this happens, because it happens often here.

He bets $80 on river, then I said instantly 'raise' and put out my $80 call. Then I count his chips at $150, put in an additional $200 to put him all in, then turn over my 3 face up and say "thats what you get for flush drawing on a paired board".

I know most of the players know I'm a strong player and would fold, but to make a statement to these donks, what do you all think of the ethics and such of the play? It gets annoying to not hit my boat when I have trips, better yet for someone to call expensive draws and hit.
