Default Clueless with a fist full of paint

Hi,

I'm a bit of a newbie to 5cd, just started playing a few $5 SNG's on stars (this game being my 7th). I got dealt this hand and hadn't got a clue how to play it, I suspect I couldn't have played it any worse, any pointers on what I should have discarded as I didn't know whether to draw for the flush, straight or play the pair?

Tournament: Pot Limit 5 Card Draw (50/100) (converter)

SB (1490), Seat 2
BB (2745), Seat 3
Hero (1660), Seat 4
CO (1360), Seat 5
Button (1745), Seat 6

SB posts 50. BB posts 100.

Hero is UTG with [Jc Kc Ks Qh Ac]

Round 1: (150)

<font color="green">Hero calls. </font><font color="green">CO calls. </font><font color="green">Button calls. </font><font color="green">SB calls. </font><font color="green">BB checks. </font>
SB takes 3. BB takes 3. Hero discards Jc Qh Ac. CO takes 3. Button takes 2.

Hero has [Kc Ks 2h 7d 5h]

Round 2: (500)

<font color="green">SB checks. </font><font color="green">BB checks. </font><font color="green">Hero checks. </font><font color="red">CO bets 200. </font><font color="#666666">Button folds. </font><font color="#666666">SB folds. </font><font color="#666666">BB folds. </font><font color="#666666">Hero folds. </font>

Pot: (500)

Open raise with this hand. QQAKJ and even JJAKQ are worth
open raising in this spot. You would usually draw three
and if there is a time to draw differently, it would be if
one of the blinds reraise and stand pat - then, it would be
best to draw to your gutshot if you are pretty sure the
reraiser had a legitimate pat hand (it's clearly better than
drawing two to a flush especially if there is SOME chance
the pat hand isn't legitimate).
