Default WSOP ME day 1, worst turn card ever.

Day 1, after dinner break. Blinds at 200-400/50. (maybe 300-600/75)

I got 36.5k to start the hand.
CO - weak tight italian woman. Have c/f or just folded to a donk bet after raising pf few times.
SB/Villain - super lag asian kid, half aggro half calling station. Doesn't like to fold. Def plays by "feel" and is not a pro. Talked about how he is a blackjack player that bought in cause he won a tournament at the venatian. Has me well covered.
BB - calling station donkey, pro bowling player who registered cause he was bored.

CO opens to 1100. I call on the button with 58dd, since I know 100% both blinds will call every time. Might be a mistake. Both blinds do call.

Flop 854cc.

SB leads out 3000. He has done that over and over so far. Never showed his hand tho. Usually took it down on flop or the turn, sometimes backed off when played back at.

BB folds quickly, CO folds quickly. Back to me. I raise to 12k. Leaving me about 23k behind.

Asian says "I call" very quickly.

Turn 6c. 8546ccc. He thinks for a few secs and check. Your play here? I checked.

River bricked (Maybe off suit J/T). He quickly bets 25k. I fold.

Thoughts?

I was moved to the seat on Yuv's immediate right as he was calling the PF raise in this hand. When the river came and he had decided to fold he flashed me his cards, and my stomach sunk. such an ugly spot, i have no idea what to do, but i think i likely just stick it in on the turn.

edit:

i busted to the villain in this hand~!

Preflop I guess your play is ok. I'd prefer having a slightly better hand and also in most scenarios if both blinds call you'll be first to act assuming the raiser bets first, although this did not happen in this hand.

I think there are two ways to play the hand on the turn.
One line is how you played the hand. Alternatively, when small blind checked you could have bet and played accordingly.

Trying to put villian on hand with his description is virtually impossible. He could have two clubs, 78, air, anything is possible.

My default in this type of setting is probably to give up on the turn reluctantly.

Even if you know blinds are calling, I dont know if calling is still right. I mean whatever, it's not bad, you wanna play poker, that's fine.

On the flop I think you either gotta call his bet or push turn if you're gonna raise that much. personaly, because of the deep stacked nature of the situation I think I just check/call down after that flop.

Gotta be aware that something like half the deck sucks for you (for the turn) after that flop. I don't think anyone faults the river fold, but personally if you're gonna raise flop you gotta push turn I think.

Pre flop is meh in any tournament outside WSOP ME, where seeing flops with people in position is more or less printing money.

Post flop is perfect. Nice meeting you at WSOP yuv.

I think that w/ the description of the cutoff, I'd coldcall preflop if I thought that the blinds wouldn't come along.

I think you played this just right. Of course, most of my bustout hands involve one-gapped suited cards, so I might not be the best judge of these things.
