Playing trips against opponents who seem very willing to call
This happened to me twice in two days, and I would like some advice as to what would be the best way to play these types of situations. I apologize - I don't have hand histories, so this is from memory, but you should get the idea.
Situation #1: .25/.50 NL Hero is Big Blind with Q8o Everyone folds to small blind, who calls Hero completes Flop is J85 rainbow (pot is 1.00) SB leads out for .50 Hero calls Turn is 8 (pot is 2.00) SB checks, Hero bets 1.00 SB raises to 2.00, Hero re-reraises to 8.00, SB calls River is X (pot is 18.00) SB leads out for 12.00 How should Hero respond having trip 8's with QJ kickers? Situation #2: .25/.50 NL Hero is Big Blind with Q5o UTG calls, button calls, SB completes Flop is 55A rainbow (pot is 2.00) Hero leads out for 2.00, UTG calls, Button calls Turn is T (pot is 8.00) Hero leads out for 8.00, UTG calls, Button calls River is 2 (pot is 32.00) I really wasn't expecting this many opponents in the pot at this point. How should I play the river? Should I assume that one of my opponents has at least a better set of trips and check/fold, or something else?

1. Call. People are very loose in BvB situations and he could play worse trips very often.
2. I'd like a c/c here Stacksizes and stats are very important here obv.

1. Call. His line is extremely donkish and could easily be worse trips.

There's exactly one better set of trips - somebody may have boated up, but a lot of worse trips AND good aces are in their range here. I'm firing a 3rd barrel - 20 looks about right.
