choose a hand to bluff with, that blocks some 2p/straight combos, 87/67/57/J7 for example. if you choose 45s to bluff with, it's fairly safe to assume that you overbluff in this spot. also there have to be some hands that you want x/c flop and x/f turn with and this one def fits into that range of hands.

As a general comment I think it is completely unnecessary to risk your tourney life (or close to it) running a big bluff at 30/60 blinds.

Second, this is an ideal spot for a flop x/r. You have a weak hand that can pick up extra equity on the turn, and the flop fits your range much better than villain's.

Hello,

I think the flat pre is fine, but in later spots in tournaments (antes) this can be a very profitable spot to fire in a 3bet.

Calling is fine on the flop, but as mentioned previously, x/r is fine as well. I like the flat because the early stage of the tournament though.

I guess raise is fine on the turn, but I don't really think it was a good idea. You only have a gutter and I think a bluff would be best if you had that same hand, but two spades on the board.

The river jam is.. idk. I guess what you're repping almost makes it so you have to fire the river as well but 100bb deep, risking your tournament life on this run-out? eh. Seems very suicide.
