$5 NL HE Full Ring: Trips OOP on the river... Value?
Context: I've been playing this guy for a while, and have seen him steal a lot from the BTN and CO. I have already caught him red handed a few times by 3betting and forcing a fold (usually I'm holding suited connectors, small pocket pairs, or even marginal hands like KJ or QT). He seems like a smart player, so on this occasion I decide to try and be a little tricky and just smooth call OOP with 65s (not something I usually do, but I decide to change it up a little).
I get very lucky and land trips on the flop. Since my usual MO is to lead out after 3 betting, I figure to really change my pace by checking, planning to call any bet here with my trips (perhaps he'll think I'm chasing a flush). Because he indeed bets, I don't figure him for a flush draw at this point, and I call pretending that's what I'm drawing to.
The turn is a blank, and I check again, hoping to get him to bet again. To my delight he does make a sizable bet, and again I take a little bit of time before I flat call, pretending that I'm now obsessed with catching my flush; (please tell me if you think perhaps I should have raised here, faking a semibluff...).
Finally the river comes a King, which could be a scare card, or a great card for me, depending on if villain is holding a K. From the action in the hand, I'm guessing that he's either holding overcards like AT-AK, or perhaps something like KJ or QJ, or has possibly paired a nine. Given that he might already be scared by the K, or could very well have just landed a big pair, what do you recommend here: should I bet the river and try to actively extract chips from the villain, or given the hand until now should I check and try to induce one final bluff/value bet (him thinking that I missed my flush)? Many thanks for your advice, hand is below:
