Preflop: 150 or call/allin (let go on scary multiway flop if no allin pf)

After your pf: bet pot flop and bet 2/3 pot turn, give yourself chance to run. But at $1 tournaments I guess its not realy a big thing.

Those are my ideas. Are they correct?

the rule on these forums is not too include results with original post( tends to cloud peoples responses)
the all in turn bet was terrible, your only getting called by 2 pair, a set, or a completed str8.the turn seven is a very scary card as it completes a sr8. think about it, what was villian calling flop with?. throw a block bet out there and fold to a raise.
villians stack size and reads would be really cool!

raise more pf and dont just shove your chips in. He's prob calling on a draw and this card is scary. All you can beat is a pure bluff or by some miracle he is betting with A10 for all his chips. Anything could happen in these things though

call/allin - I dont know if I can write it like this, but by it I meant call pf (opting for a raise) and move allin pf if smn raises.
If noone raises be ready to fold flop or later.

Pot flop is standard, 2/3 turn explained by fuzz66.

Lot's of....well...let's call it fun...yes fun advice in this thread.

Your PF raise is fine.

Flop bet is terrible. Betting 400 into a 245 pot? Why overbet? Did you want to advertise that you have KK/AA?

Turn bet is also terrible. After he calls your massive overbet on the flop, I would be slowing down on the turn. Not overbetting the pot all in. You bet ~3000+ into a ~1000 pot. What hands did you think would call you?

Now given that it is a 1.00 tourney, I could see some T's calling and some draws. So in that sense, your play is fine. But only because you are playing in a micro. Play like this against players with any ability at all is atrocious.

So yeah. Make a pot-sized bet on the flop. And check or make a 1/2 pot sized bet on the turn (I'd probably make the 1/2 pot size bet).
