I should add that both stacks should be large enough to make the implied odds worth it. If I'm hitting trips 1 out of 8 times and I'm calling a raise < $2 and both stacks are high enough, I'm making the call.
Other factors, like my table image and their table image should be taken into consideration of course. I'm pretty sure my table image was aggressive post flop. On this table (and most) I bet most pots checked to me. I got reraised and folded a couple times, so people may have caught on. This guy was semi-loose, but he was passive pre-flop, so I put him on Ax (x higher than 10 possibly suited) or high PP. The $1 tells me he most likely has AK, which few people fold at 25NL even if they miss the flop. Therefore, I'm confident I'll make over $8 here. Once the Ace hit, I knew I had a great chance to destack him. I actually gave him a way out by reraising too high, but he didn't take it. I think my past aggression was a factor.
Even without all those factors, I'm making this call on a regular basis. When I get a chance I'll have to go through poker tracker and get the true story.
