Villian has ~50 BBs and we have trips with a King kicker. Why are we checking the flop? Its on.

Not betting the flop here is very bad IMO. You're behind AT and 66, and no one's ever folding a T here. Multiway you definitely want to build a pot so you can get some nice value on later streets. Additionally, no one ever believes you actually have the trips on the flop since in the standard villains mind trips totally meets the criteria for slowplaying.

Also, do post with titles like that, it's as bad as telling us the results and makes it hard to give an objective analysis.

due to your title, villain had either 66 or AT. yes, you're taking this hand to the felt vs a half stack. but wait a minute, you've got trips w/ the second best kicker. don't you WANT to get it all in here and abuse QT-T8? big hands like big pots, pot/pot/pot and call any raises along the way.

I agree, the title kind of gave it away. Of course if I'd have won this pot I'd be brilliant and wouldn't have posted the hand. So slow playing this hand doesn't make more money by allowing someone to make a second best hand? After thinking about it I guess I understand the logic.
