I played it badly from flop to river. The villain was a fish playing 52/16 AF 3. It was a freeplay and when I caught my trips on that board and I saw his AF i thought i can check call here. Normally, I would bet the flop OOP, but due to the stats of the fish I thought I can extract more value this way. I could raise him on the flop, but if i have done that my hand was too obvious and I couldnt get any value on another street. On the turn, I think I should have raised for protection, not to play tricky. I realised the mistake on the river and I faked a bluff and it worked. What line should I adopt on this board against this kind of fish?
