Results follow:
I felt I was beat after villain raises the river. Should I trust my instinct and fold, or say to myself "I have trips - I need to make this call"? Villain will sometimes make this play with other hands I beat, like AK, but will he make it often enough for my call to be +EV?
Thanks
edit: is my check on the flop ok? Didn't feel I needed to protect.
