yeah when you have a big hand i have noticed you always donk the turn. you lose the action and your adrenalin is pumping and you want the most money in correct ? you bet flop MP1 raised you called. on the turn you first of all almost always will get 1BB more out of your opponent by check raising. remember i told you about the unspoken rule of "check to the raiser" that sentence is very well fitting for this situation. he raised on the flop he gets initiative. you hit trips ergo you most likely have the best hand 99% of the times. now its time to get value and how, you check raise him. he will bet the turn almost 100% time here. judging by his play id say its a J almost always. which he always bets on the turn. you raise him and in most scenarios get 1 BB more out of him.

I agree to Avataren. Once you improve on the Turn, you donk out. Your play is very transparent. Donk = i have a good hand, check = i have nothing really strong. Against most opponents, they should realize that it's not good to raise again with jack medium kicker and as he didnt raise preflop, his hand is likely to be a weak jack that he's not supposed to raise again on your donk so rather check the turn and checkraise. You'll get called down by any2 but frequently you just get called once you've donked the turn. With a read that he's aggressive, donk/3bet is fine but iguess you didn't have any solid read. Luckily he raised again. Your kicker sucks somehow but with trips you should 3bet though. 3bet and bet is correct but as i said => Checkraise Turn as your default line.
