Flop Analysis
Checking is the only play here. We need to protect our checking range on this board, and leading out would allow Villain to play perfectly against us.
Check-call with your strong trips to protect your range and let the aggressor continue bluffing on a dry board.

Calling is the standard play with trips. We block the Ace, making it harder for Villain to have value, and we want to keep their bluffs in.
The 8d is a total brick. We continue with our plan of checking to Villain to let them barrel.
We continue to call. Villain's sizing is small, which could indicate thin value or a persistent bluff with hands like JJ or air.
Checking the river is correct. The King is a card that hits Villain's 3-betting range (AK, KK), so leading now would be disastrous against their value and fold out their bluffs.
