Guys was my play profitable? I re raised huge PF being ready to call 4-bet shove and because I did not want another vilians in the pot which at this limits is common situation.
On the flop having the texture I decided to shove to made a call unprofitable for straight and flush draws chasers. My only concern was maybe TT.

As you can see in this buy-ins there is no price which can deter vilians from chasing their draws. Of course he hit his straight on the river.

But I assume in long run this line is profitable. Isn't it?

I think you can size smaller pre, something like 9-10BB makes the whole hand easier to play. The pot will be like 22BB, with a bet of 14BB OTF, the pot will be 50 leaving villian a 30BB stack, which we can jam the blank turn and let him call off with his draws and worse kings.

In the early stages of these 3.30 tournaments, you generally want to avoid plays like this if you can, you and villain are both so deep and there will be better spots. You have to remember while you have TPTK, you still have a one pair hand,

This sounds very reasonable to me. Thank you.

Think you went a bit overboard with the sizings. Raise smaller pre especially this early in a tourney as stated above. Not a fan of the nearly 2x pot bet sizing on the flop. Versing a competent player they may fold a 10 or weaker K on the flop which you would otherwise get value from and you are only really getting called by better hands like sets or AA.

You did get called by a draw (which is good) but if you just stick to normal bet sizing it lets villain make bad call downs and bluff if he bricks and gives you a chance to fold if you think he has made the draw.

I agree with this. Ur missing value with the large bets.

squeeze is maybe a tiny bit large but we are oop so 12-13BB would be normal sizing I think. I agree with the smaller sizing post though.

Sizing pre is absolutely fine IMO. We're really not loving getting calls preflop with AK OOP. Flop bet makes no sense. You have one of the best hands you can have in this spot. Bet around 20bb on flop and shove turn.
