Late stages of the SNG, this is the final table. I'd been chip leader for a while, playing pretty tight. Villan (BTN) seemed to be a pretty solid player to me, not really taking too many chances, but winning his share of pots with decent bets post flop. He also wasn't afraid to get out post flop if he missed.
First off, I immediately noticed my pretty serious mistake in trying to slow play my flopped trips. I gave my opponent a free draw at a flush and suddenly my trips didn't look quite as good. So I know I should have bet the flop, but how much?
Second, after I made my error, what do I do to recover? I know checking again isn't the right move (I don't want to give him another free card), but how much should I bet here? Should I assume he probably doesn't have the flush and go for value, or should I bet high and try to win the pot right out?
Stacks:
* BB with 10315
* UTG with 1195
* MP with 1050
* CO with 240
* BTN with 5930
* SB with 8270
Blinds: 100/200
Site: pokerstars
* * Dealt to BB:A♥ Q♣

* * 1 players fold.
* * Hero raises 200 to 400
* * BTN calls [200]
* * Total folds this street: 4
* * Potsize: 900
Flop:
* * A♠ 10♦ A♦

* * Potsize: 900
