In hand 1 I flat when he makes it 270 to keep in more of his bluffs...apart from that, I'm not folding trips and 2 pair on those boards, and I'm perfectly willing to get it all-in.
You got unlucky, move on ;)

Pokerstars does not like me today.
What about in this hand, is it better to reraise to extract extra value from the many draws he could potentially be reraising?

LOL, from now on, just fold trips when you flop them...you obviously run bad when holding them :D
Seriously though, just suckouts, don't be too results oriented.

In the last 2 hands you moved in your chips as a favorit and got rivered both times. This hurts, but this happens. Just keep in mind that you made the right play. You will hardly see better spots for an allin ....
Hey, in January, I lost over 20 buy-ins where I got in with a set, trips or a two-card full house - shit happens.
However, what you could do is play your weak trips a bit more passively to keep some of your opponent's bluffs in the hand and allow him to spew off some more chips to you on later streets.
Many low-stakes players won't ever put you on trips if you flat them on what they perceive as a drawy board. However, for instance on this low-card board in the first hand, there aren't really that many draws possible because he has to have some very specific (unlikely) hands to have a straight-draw against you. His range most likely contains a lot more naked overcards or maybe even overpairs than straight draws.
For instance, if I hit trips on 224 rainbow, then sure he can have 35, but it's a lot more likely that he's on something like A3, A5, some hand with a 4 in it - or complete air.
