When do you cool off... when you have rolled up trips? Example hand: I am dealt trip aces and complete. As per usual at a low stakes, crazy-loose table, I get a million callers (actual number of callers: 6).
I lead the betting on all rounds until 6th street. Each time I fire off a bet, I am called by most of the players, losing one here and there. By sixth street I have not improved, but the two players in with me have nothing notable on their boards from what I can tell. Suddenly one player starts to lead the betting with a scattered board of Kh Jh 8s Ks. He's showing me just a pair of kings and two possible flush draws, in other words.
When he leads out here, do you raise? Upon further review I think I should have - I was very likely ahead in the hand and had a lot of outs to improve if I wasn't. I flat-called, mainly because I don't know stud that well yet.
On 7th street he bet out again. Now I suspected he was just trying to get a cheap showdown for two pair or something, but I flat called again because my trips hadn't improved. The trips won the hand at showdown - I expected they would, actually. This is more a theoretical question than a "what did he have" type question. He showed kings up.

I'd wait for the big bet rounds to start raising, the chance of boating up by 7th street is just too good, and trip aces a lone will hold up against a few opponents.

take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

I find some people to be aggressive in the term of "I know you were raising, but now I'm going to show you I'm not afraid".
I find in the lower stakes, people give no respect to the opening raise and look to pair up and assume you were just raising with 2's in the pocket
