Preflop: Hero is MP with K

:
Hero raises to $0.08, CO folds, BTN raises to $0.14, SB calls $0.13, BB folds, Hero raises to $0.45, BTN calls $0.31, SB calls $0.31

Flop: ($1.37) Q

: 7

: 8

SB checks, Hero bets $0.55 and is all-in, BTN folds, SB calls $0.55

Turn: ($2.47) 6

: (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: ($2.47) 4

(2 players, 1 is all-in)

Spoiler:

Thoughts? The only thing I can think is maybe I should have sized my preflop 4bet bigger seeing as I wasn't going to be able to get anyone off a hand post flop.

But on the other hand I didn't know how big to raise because I didn't want others to fold.

First. Buy in full. If you did and you've lost a few hands then set the auto-top up.

If you are going to buy-in half then you can't 4bet AK small like this. You need to shove. By allowing villain to call your non-shove they can play perfectly when the flop comes Axx or Kxx.

I was playing on a 50bb shortstacker game. I guess if I choose to play this game where would you suggest to go all in? In what stack sizes behind or what SPRs?

Let's say you 4bet, he calls and everyone else folds. The pot is now $1.06.
BTN only had $.85 starting out so now the effective stacks on the flop are $.4
That's an SPR of <0.5.
That means all the rest of the money should be going in on the flop.
However if opponent has 99 and the flop comes AKJ he's probably not going to continue.
Better to shove instead of 4betting so you get full value from all the hands that you beat.
If everyone folds then that's not the end of the world either. You'll have picked up a lot of dead money with what, at the end of the day, is a drawing hand.
