I would of just folded pre flop. 54s isn’t the kind of hand you want to risk playing with such a low SPR and being OOP doesn’t help.
But as played, with a SPR under 3 I would be trying to get it all in after hitting trips on the turn. I think checking the flop is fine because I don’t think raising is going to fold out any hands that would call your pre flop raise. I would almost always bet the turn. How much depends on the villain. I would bet around 1250 if I thought they could reraise my turn bet or float and raise the river if i checked because my turn bet looked like a delayed c-bet and i gave up on the hand. Against most players I would make it around 2000 and shove my 6000 into the 8000 pot.

Im not against 3betting suited connectors. I used to play a lot of 6max pre black friday, so 3 betting was something you had to learn. I just don’t like the idea of 3betting small suited connectors when your starting the hand with 66bb and then all of a sudden seeing the flop with a SPR that low OOP. I wouldn’t hate it if you did it with 89s or 910s. Better chance of hitting top pair or stronger semi bluffing hands to double barrel with and still have some equity. But the limpers and button might be blocking a lot of the cards that you needed.
Originally reading the hand I put the villain on AA, KK, AQ, AJ and maybe KQs. Planning on Trapping with AA and KK, especially checking back the flop hoping to let you catch up. Then hoping to hit the flop and getting it in with the others since the pot is so large. He would probably shove 99-QQ and AK pre. If he is flatting anything else I would guess he is a bad player since he’s getting like 8-1 implied odds on set mining and all other hands are trash against the range you are representing. Thats why I wouldn’t be afraid of 99 or 77 in his range and licking my chops hoping he has AA or KK to double up against.
It could very well be a +EV move, he is probably folding 75% of his hands pre flop to your bet so thats about 900 more chips, assuming the bb doesn’t wake up with something or the limpers weren’t trapping. Post flop you are around 35% equity against his flatting range on a run out of cards. But its hard to realize it when you flop bottom pair and he happens to just hold to overs and is capable of just flatting or putting pressure on you by reraising the flop.
