Default Live tourney hand vs me

Played in the $100 $15K added NL tourney last night at the Bike in LA. A hand came up in the opening level that I was thinking about from the villain's perspective; I'm unsure how I would have played it myself. (I'm a limit player who's only played 15-20 NL tournies, so pls be gentle.)

25/25, 2K to start, we're all around that mark right now. UTG+2 raises to 75 with JdJs. I call three seats away. SB calls. Three of us.

Flop: 8h7h3c

Check, Hero bets 75, I call, SB folds.

Turn: Td

Hero bets 150, I think for a moment and make it 500 total, Hero calls.

River: 8c

Hero does what? What do we think of his turn play?

FWIW, my chips almost beat his into the pot on the flop; this was by design, although I'm not sure he noticed.

bet-size on flop is terrible - 75 into a 250 pot with an overpair, so with 2 villains, an overpair and a possible flush-draw i would make it about pot-size.

turn bet-size is again awful - 150 into a 400 pot.

the problem here is, that the approach up to the turn is so bad, that it's really hard to say now what villain has. could be something like AT, AK, 8x flush draw but of course also 2 pairs or better. so on the turn it's push or fold for me - i'd push it.

river is a bad card - i'd check

is this in the third person? you playing two seats? is this a level?

Hero is generally = "I"

c/c river if I read this correctly, river doesn't really change anything. Either he had T8, J9, or some SD/FD that turned a ten.

Sorry -- "Hero" is the guy with the JJ who is playing against me/"I". I thought the hand was more interesting presented from his perspective rather than mine.

So is this an automatic turn bet as opposed to a c/r or c/c?
