Default flopped trips (weak kicker) from BB, how would you play \'em?

I'd only been sat at the table for around 15 minutes so no read on the villain.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
9 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $25.85
UTG+1: $43.05
MP1: $25
MP2: $53.90
MP3: $24.50
CO: $8.05
Button: $31.85
SB: $18.80
Hero: $25.60

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
3 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, 2 folds, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($1, 4 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $0.75</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, SB folds.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($3.25, 3 players)
Hero checks (here i was planning on flat calling a bet and folding the river if it was a club), <font color="#cc0000">MP2 bets $0.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">MP3 raises to $3</font>, Hero ???

Comments on all streets appreciated.

I'd just call. I'll bet MP3 ir MP2 (doubtful) has a K, and probably has a better kicker. If a club hits and he still bets, you might have to fold depending on bet size. If a blank hits and MP3 makes a reasonable bet, you probably have to call. If a 7 or K hits, have fun

If you've been at the table for 15 min you should be able to pick up a read....

As played, that's either a great flop for you or a bad one(kicker trouble) w/o reads pot flop, push turn.

Bet a little more on the flop (1-1.25)
Lead the turn for a 1/2 pot bet and re-evaluate.

As played MP3's raise of MP2's donkbet doesn't tell us much...

Most definitely bet the turn. If he raises over you, well now you have a much better indication of where you stand. But I think that as played, I'd just call.

This is pretty bad too. If you think that your opponents are on club draws, you should bet again and hope they make a big mistake in calling. Then when the draw misses on the river as it will 3 out of 4 times, you scoop. Point being, if you think they are drawing, bet to induce the mistake.

I think you're right the check was a scared move, but with hands from BB i usually try and keep the pot as small as i can as i've found myself outkicked far to often. Do you think thats too weak-tight?
