When I raised preflop, it was my first hand played. I was surprised I got so many callers and that flop was either really good or really bad for me. I've seen this situation so many times that people weak lead into someone when they have the trips and want to reraise you when you try to show strength on the flop. This guy gave me the best way to learn if he had the king cheap. By min raising, it made it look like I had the king without actually committing a lot more chips. This way, if anyone behind me or the bettor had it, they would likely raise it right there thinking I will give them action. Overally, I hat min raising but this seemed to be the ideal time. What do you guys think of this play?

Normally I think minraising is a waste of time online... if someones already called 30, they'll most likely call 60 also... If you were later, and the UTG 30 bet had a couple callers, I think you should definitely raise more... But, with this flop, no ones calling who doesn't have a K, and since you're second to act, and are sort of representing a K, this could be one of the few situations where you could get the info, or make everyone fold, cheap... I'm assuming that if someone raised you, you would have folded, since they would most likely have Kx or Aces... I definitely don't like the play in a later street w/ a few callers...

no, i wouldn't have called any raise (maybe another 30 because he would be giving me great odds to spike a jack.) but the UTG+1 was a loose aggressive player that got his big stack early by making some good plays and some lucky ones. I figured his was a feeler bet as he probably had the 3 or a pp so I decided to take the opportunity to test him cheaply.
