$10 NLHE 6-max: Is this optimal play for trips?

I'm really just wanting an analysis on each street here and how you would play this?

I think checking the flop was fine as I was anticipating the CO Cbetting. Am I wrong to expect this in a 3-way pot?

As everyone checked the flop, I decided to take some initiative on the turn and bet. The CO raising seemed perfect and I wasn't really expecting the call. With that call, how does this set up the river? I think the only thing I can do really is to shove my remaining stack. Am I missing something here? Or am I playing the same way most of you would?

shove vs AK

shove it on in

Whether to donk the flop is all dependant on the fishes position to the c-better. If the c-better checks does the fish get a chance to bet? If the answer is no lead out. You won't be losing much money from his air folding as the fishes presence makes him c-betting less likely and getting value from the fish is always are number one priority.

If there was no fish checking is standard.

yea its a great play. i also like leading on the turn because that is a highly fishy move if you did have the king cause the king is definitely in the range of the Pre flop aggressor. So usually its good to let him bet it or represent it.

as played shove river,no doubt.

Yup, looks fine. Just stick in the rest on the river.

Thanks for the advice guys. I just wanted to check that this was a hand I couldn't get away from. The CO called my river shove and flipped over KK so set over set. I thought it was odd play but I suppose in the end it got my money!

All good. Now ship river.

Also it's a set. Trips are a very different hand with very different dynamics.
