Flopped Trips, feel like I could've gotten more, any advice?

definitely bet that turn man and charge the flush draw.

Also, the flop raise is weak. Raise to at least 0.14

I feel like if you don't slow play SOME you're just being WAY too obvious. I think I'd made a pot raise on the flop I'd have picked it up then.

This being this, don't minraise ever. Either flat call the flop or make a proper raise ~15c. If one of them has a flush draw, charge them on the flop and the turn or else we're getting no value with a blank turn and river

You are overthinking this level of poker. Your opponents are thinking on level 1 - 'i have a hand! omg! let me put my chips in.' Do not ever slow play at this level, or any micro stakes, and you will be fine.

You have a big hand and thus want a nice big pot to go with it. The only way to achieve this is to bet bet bet and let opponents pay off with a second best hand.

If you feel so then start raising more hands in different situations but don't slowplay unless you have great reasons for doing so. Still, it is much more safe to simply play ABC, it should be more than enough for beating these levels.
