My logic is that the villain has shown weakness by betting the flop and then checking the turn. If he really flopped trips, he'd either check back the flop and wait for me to hit a pair (slow play), or he'd value bet multiple streets (fast play), not mix it up between the two. Also, I felt I could credibly represent trip Kings here, based upon the way I slow-played my hand (check-calling the flop, rather than C-betting, as if to say I'm worried about my opponent folding), which is what someone with a hand like AK might do in this position. Do you think that this is a good bluff?
