What could his range be ?
AA, AK, QQ, 22, JT, KQ, AQ ?
I played strong, so more then 2 pair ?
so AA, QQ ? Can we include JT ?
Do we have the odds to call ?
if AA vs QQ is 50/50, we should call right ?
Could he have called with JT ? with 22% change for a full house , we have the odds to call.
What would you have done ? fold ? call ? or just go all-in because we aren't folding anyway.
(PS hand converter for some reason doesn't work, i dont know why)

you should have stats on him. so u should know if he can have JT or not. i would usually say JT is not a good call, but people make bad preflop decisions all day long.
lets do some math. QQ (3 combos) AQ (9 Combos) AK (3 combos) 22(3 combos) AT,AJ of clubs (2 combos)... now we have 20 combos he might check raise you actually beat.
you loose vs AA(2 combos) JT(16 combos) that is worse case... 18 combos you loose against. and i think he should 4bet AA preflop. so i guess it is a pretty standard call/shove

I actually won the pot. But at that moment i only called because i didn't have enough time to make a sound decission in the few seconds you get when playing online. I just tought, ok i have trips i'm not folding this.
But even now i find it hard to do the math on this. Is it even possible ?, or are this situations that you just go and hope for the best ?
But then, if i dont learn to fold trips, will i ever have enough of an edge to be a winning player. (or keep being)

I don't fold sets on the turn ever as you can improve to a full house. It's just too strong of a hand to let go. I may check/call instead of betting depending on board texture though (possible straights and flushes). For the hand you provided, plenty of idiots out there will flat JTs to a 3bet even out of position.
On the river I can fold a set depending on the board texture and if you have the correct odds.
