I really wanted to get one of these guys allin at the flop.. and im quite suprised one of them did call my huge overbet of all in - I was hoping one would call with a flush draw. As you can see by the turn card, im glad we got allin at the flop or it would have been tricky play (being scared of flush). luckily the poor guy had trips.

Do you think this was good play by me, or most the time would everyone fold? I very very rarely make this odd move but desperatly wanted to get all our chips in on that flop.

That's usually not a good play. You're lucky someone had something to call with, and also kinda lucky he didn't hit one of his many outs to fill up. Some players overbet habitually just hoping for calls, but I'd prefer to play the player - and a lot of players are way too passive to call those kind of raises.

The only hands that are calling are a set or an over pair, probably JJ or above, and you'd think most over pairs would have raised, so basically your bet is only getting paid off if someone has a set. PS or slightly over PS gives reasonably bad odds to the draw while allowing a hand like A6 or 77 to stay in and give you all their money.
