OK so lets start with pre-flop....this early in the tourney you shouldnt really be raising PP, and definately not in EP (UTG+1). In this situation you want to limp in and set farm....

The flop: I bet more than 100 here....more like 130-160... or other option would be to check/call a bet of no more than 1-2 pot...

Turn: You did the right thing checking...when villian bets here im more inclined to fold even with the pot odds being good. The FD + the overcard..not a pretty board. Fold here and invest your chips in better situation...

River: Like I said before probably should have gotten away from the hand on the turn...bad call on the river...your calling this only with something that you are beat by in my opinion...should have just check/folded...

Key Point: Early in tourneys dont get to caught up in low to med PP... Limp and set farm... Im only calling raises with low and med PP PF when I can limp in or if its raised but the implied odds and the pot odds justify a call....hope this helps

Limp/call pre, because there is no reason to show your true aggression this early in the tourney without good conditions (position, premium hands, reads, etc.)

As played, bet harder on flop. Like 250 i think. If he calls, I tend to fire a second barrel on the turn, because most of his range completely whiffed the board here.
