Still early in the tournament, but villain appears to be loose passive.

Sorry, I don't want to derail this thread, but fold preflop is the best option, KJs isn't good enough to isolate a limper early on in the sng.
As played shove on the flop coz he's got very few chips left given your read we can assume that your hand is best most of the time.

I agree with Korlit about the preflop fold. KJ is below my normal range this early, but I had the button against what I judged to be a weak opponent.

I flopped top pair with a King kicker on a wet flop. After the check, I bet just under 2/3 the pot, to price the villain out of a draw. There were straight and flush draws possible. On retrospect, this was probably giving the villain too much credit.

Turn was a blank, so I pushed villain for his stack. Straight hit on the river.
