Default $16s - 10/20, flopped trips played too weakly?

With the amount of limpers preflop is it reasonable to think I am outkicked here and go for a cheap showdown? Should I value bet the river if nothing on the turn?

It's not unreasonable, but the turn is a pretty good card since now you have trips with an A and a Q. So unless he has a boat, there is a good chance you at least push.

I probably value bet the river. There is a good chance he only has a Q.

At the 16s u should bet the turn for value imo.If u lead out for 500 u will still get loads of action from worse hands.
9T is stron enough to stack of for me in that spot.
As played I would bet out on the river agin.

I think you need to value bet the river.

I don't mind the call on the flop. But once he checks the turn you should probably bet like 400 on the river.

I like your line, but his flop raise looks like he has a queen to me since he checked the turn. I think I would lead a smallish bet on the river, maybe 200.

betting the turn seems right to me. At least half the pot. I think on this board a smaller bet on the river makes sense too, maybe up to half the pot.

but don't take my opinion too seriously.
