Default Flop is trips - fire a CB?

Live tourney, level 4. Blinds 50-100. My stack is about average at 2200. Villain is chip leader and pretty LAG.

2 limpers and I’m in the SB with AQs. I raise it up to 500. Only 1 MP player calls.

Flop comes TTT, none of my suit. Pot = 1200. What’s your plan?

Doesn't matter if any are of your suit. This is most likely to show down with someone making a boat or having the ten.

There are a number of ways of playing this. If you have been slowplaying your monsters at this table, they would expect you to slowplay this flop. Since you raised, they won't think you have a ten and will think you have a pair in the pocket at best, or unpaired high cards.

Firing a CB might seem suspicious since if you have a big pair you hold the 2nd/3rd/4th nuts and should want some action, so they might take a checkraise as more legitimate.

I couldn't fault a CB though.
