Just to clarify - I am never open-shoving 17x pre at this stage of this tournament. Have more thoughts on the hand as well but Il w8 a while for them!

preflop is fine, don"t open shove with 17xbb imo - 12 maybe the limit for me here.
this is a bad board to c-bet imo as pocket pairs and Kx peel so you don"t get rid of many worse hands and only get called by better. So that is fine.
you call turn as you feel like you have SD value then decide to turn your hand into a bluff, which is why i just check river.

This is pretty much how I shuda played it - bet on the river was a major mind-fart! Just had it in my mind tht I had played the hand like I cud possibly have a K and felt oblidged to keep telling tht story on the river. Been kickin myself a lot for it.....literally! Getting lots of diff opinions for what to do accross various forums. I think I NEED to do one of 3 things for this hand to not b as bad!!
1-Bet 30k on flop
2-Raise the turn to 80k
3-Check back the river
I c/bet this flop about 70%+ of the time under normal circumstances, but it was the new table and all the villains ante chips that threw me. Didnt want to get raised and have a mammoth decision on the flop.

yeah, you say "i float the turn to re-evaluate" which sort of indicates you didn"t really have a plan but just "let"s see what happens" sort of thing.
its tough playing in these spots with 17bb and such a turbo structure but i think if you bet flop you should not be folding, betting "for info" and folding with that stack and with AQ would be a mistake imo. Checking flop is best.

I prob worded that wrong - wen I floated the turn - I had intended to bet the river at the time. Its just in hindsight that I realise I shuda flatted to just slow him down! Have to say - structure was perfect for IPO this yr - on day 1 I was rarely below 50x! 2nd day had bigger antes but still a fir structure - I was more than happy w/ it - cnt really blame the structure for this hand.
Swinebag:
I"m happy to shove up to 20BBs in certain situations, but given the description of the tourney that says you can get away with raising less then I can see the argument for raising less and playing a flop. This means you can steal much lighter without risking your stack.
However, If I enter the pot with AQ, with a smaller raise with my stack then I"m not folding the hand and am looking to get them in as soon as possible on the flop or turn if possible
