I think I could've done it differently in a couple places... I'm rusty AF
We're down to FT - 5 handed, with 3500 up top and 300 to 5th. Blinds are 10k/20k with 4k ante and halfway through the level. I've been largely card dead, but picked a couple pots to keep my stack around 260k (2nd shortest stack)
In cutoff I'm dealt KTo and raise to 45k. Good decision/Larger sizing/shove or fold it?
SB and BB call (pot =155k).
Flop is 8 9 J, rainbow. Checks to me and I bet 75k, leaving me with about 140k behind.
Check this flop and play a turn, bet it (what amount?) or jam?
More to come...

shove pre. as played shove or check back flop seem okay/read dependent. should have an idea how he plays by this point in the tournament.

KTo is not a good hand to play post-flop, playing it with 13BB is very questionable decision. It's either shove or fold. Considering that you have the 2nd shortest stack and basically wait for the shortest one to finish the tournament so that you get more money, fold seems to be preferable solution. BTW - you can easily check such situation by using software like Simple Nash.

Thanks guys.
I tried to get too cute when the situation didn't warrant it. The BB had played with me a bit and watched me open shove several times at our previous table. The others only knew my FT play, and hadn't seen me get out of line, only folding and showing down one strong hand. I out thought myself, thinking a raise with my stack might be perceived as stronger than a shove.
I wound up calling off with my OESD after the BB shoved over the top. I was way behind his flopped straight, and out of the tournament after turn/river bricks.
Fold or shove was clearly correct.
