Still early in the tournament I would just call. No need to risk anymore chips and run into a higher kicker or pocket sixes. If I lost I would still have average stack. I would never fold to this raise.

I understand why you called the raise of 20, but I have to agree with RiveR963 about not even limping in the hand in the first place. I understand it is a 6 handed game and blind levels are low. But you are going to be acting first post-flop with 3 other people in the hand with a marginal hand.

As far as the bet on the river goes I would have just called the bet too.

Fold pre flop, if you choose not to fold pre flop, raise it when you hit the trips, raise it high so they think you are trying to steal it.

That is advanced poker logic which isn't very useful in play chip games.
