We're already close to the prizes, I had double the average before this hand. No information on the vilan, only 15 hands with him, arrived at the table with that stack.
V's range for a big raise pre and calling the 3b is pretty strong and this flop murders it. I don't think we can be happy to gii so I think we're better off checking back this flop and calling a turn bet. It leaves us open to being bluffed off our hand but we can do this with AJ and most players will play a relatively straightforward game at this point.
while its nice having the Ks and gutty he can have every straight, 2p or even set combo.
Checking flop back is interesting, its proly best if we know hes going to x/r any type of jack like KJ,QJ,JT and it protects our check back range, where we can proly call twice on most run outs

I'd probably start with a check on the flop as our hand isn't really that great against his calling range. K10s, KQ, J9s Aj,10s are all hands that beat us and would realistically call us. We also have the Ks so we aren't really scared of spades and we even have an A for the nut straight. We are also so deep that I don't mind playing this safe and besides getting 3 streets of value against worse is close to impossible anyways and we don't really need that much protection as there aren't very many bad turn cards.
As played I'd fold this pretty quickly as it's one of the worst hands I could be betting for value. His check raising range on this board is going to have us crushed and It's hard to think of a hand worse then AK that I would bet for value.
You also hold the Ks so you block some of his Semi bluffs that would be okay with shoving. If he were bluffing he is most likely going to have some AxS bluffs and maybe even some Jx type of hands I just don't see us catching enough bluffs and when we do we aren't really going to be that much ahead anyways. Also in my experience people tend to lean more towards value with these kind of plays so not risking your tournament life is simply more valuable I think.
