Hello All! First time posting a hand. I have been thinking about it all week and have yet come to a conclusion on how we should be playing this. Bit of background, it is early Sunday morning (2:30am) at the Meadows Race Track and Casino. Busted out of the 7:15pm ($70) tourney and been sitting at cash for about 5-6 hours. (bought in for $150)

The players here all seem to be loose aggressive regulars (tossing +$25 on their option for a straddle and 3 betting preflop). UTG limp called preflop. He has been limping in quite a lot so i figured a good time to raise in position. Button is new player to the table (about 15minutes) and sucked out a few hands earlier to double up. He is LAG from speculation and smooth called my raise. I have been playing very TAG to try and maximize my winnings and not get bet out of pots.

I am excited to flop trips so i lead right on out. Button raises me which did not surprise too much. When he raised, I thought for a while (1-2 minutes). I have been in this spot before where villain held KQ which made me hesitant. I cannot put him on KK (would have found out preflop) KQ could be possible as could AQ or QJ. AK might have been raised preflop so possibly KJ, K10, K9s can also be thrown in as well as any pocket pairs (6's-9's) Believe he would re raise preflop with 10's or J's. I elect to smooth call here since he is very loose. 

Turn comes and I check. Villain continues to bet. I figure if i call here, i am pot committed to the river. He may even check down the river if hes on a bluff so getting it in on the Turn seemed to be the most profitable situation (as opposed to check/check on the river) However, looking back on it, perhaps getting it in on the flop would be the best chance for me to win the pot. Get the money in when you think you have the best hand and to get draws out? OR against a LAG do we check and let them drive the action to maximize gains?

Perhaps I am not asking myself the right questions to analyze this hand and find a definitive line to take. Please post any and all thoughts/suggestions. BTW, he held J10 off and felted me. Maybe the line i took was correct but just ate a bad beat?

Thanks!
