Looking for input...been away from the game and not sure about line taken and bet sizing here. Or even get involved with the AJo...

Thanks for your time!

Why shove here?

Only better hands calling you here

This is an extremely dangerous setup to push all in the way you did. Board is highly connected and you have only top pair. You will only get a call from a better hand. I would try to control the pot here, maybe check/calling the turn to leave space for the villain's bluffing range.

Thanks for the replies guys. Now that I've played a few hundred more tourneys, I see how bad this one hand is.

Totally agree on the fact only a better hand would call the shove and the line of cbet on the turn would be less risky to my stack health. I got lucky on this one...
