Default Microstakes donk in UB bounty 25.000$, How bad was I?

First a quick presentation.
I’ve been playing poker for maybe a year and a half, strictly as a recreational player. I usually deposit like 50 bucks and lose it or run it up and cash out after a week or two because I get fed up with online poker. I’m not a high volume player, I might have played 40000 hands.
So I had not play for like two months, when UB send me a mail saying they have credited my account with 10 dollars.I decide to go blow it at 25$ no limit, run good and after a week have 300 in my account and realize that I’ll probably never have enough ultimate point to cash it out so I donk a little at higher stakes and save 130 to play in the Bounty 25.000 guaranteed.
It’s the fist time have played in that kind of tournament so I would love some feedbacks on this hand I’ve played.
Fist Hand: How donkish was I?
On a flop so dry I was pretty sure only a set would raise me, but I felt like it would be too weak to fold on the flop , and on the turn I jutt went [censored] it, I’ve got trips with a king kicker.
I had no read on villain(86chief86?), it was still the beginning of the tournament.
I had been playing very standard tag, Cbet in the 4 pots I had entered and taken each one down.
The question is should I fold? When?

(no action in this round)




Showdown:

86Chief86 has 4h 4d 4c As 4s: four fours.
rollwillyroll has Ah 4c As Ad 4s: full house, aces full of fours.






Anyway, I managed to come back and cash. I thought I 'll be massively EV(I probably am), but was amazed by the softness of the field. c:Someone folded QQ to my 4bet with effective stacks less than 30 bb!!!
sorry I have some troubles with the converter.

This is pretty standard. Even though the flop is very dry, plenty of players will raise AT-AQ here (sometimes even lower) so by the time that turn hits you absolutely must get your chips in the middle.
