Start Of All Starts

Now then
Started back at it last night with two winning sessions —up $16.63 and $4.66. These wins got me above the $700 threshold and aiming for the BIG 8.
Played a couple of good hands and a few monsters as well. Pasted them below. On the first hand, do you think it is a good play to check on the flop with trips?
