Played very solid most of the tourney. One big mistake I made was when I 3bet a middle position raiser from the button with AQ. I was about 35bbs deep. He tanked and called. Flop came KT7. With a gut shot draw I could check behind and see what happens on the turn. However, I would rather take the pot down right now. He checks and I lead out for 1/2 pot. He calls and T comes on the turn. check, check. 7 on the river makes two pair. The pot is at 105k and I have about 60k left. He bets 21k into me.
Can he be betting 2 pair A high here? and can I fold?
Got down to 27 people and my table was very aggressive. I went card dead and couldn't find any good spots. Got down to 18 players and I was short stack with around 8bbs. I'm sure my image at this point was very tight weak. Both tables were very active and 6 more went out. I was down to 5 big blinds when I was in the big blind and was moving in with any 2 when I found A4 and doubled up. Two hands later I doubled up again with ak vs aq. I am now in 7 place out of 11 players left and have around 22 BBs. Two hands later I have AQ utg and raise, very active aggressive player in the bb reraises to 70k. This is the player that just doubled me up with AQ. I put him on a wide range here and think he may be raising thinking that I just got the chips and wouldn't want to play a big pot. I can't find the fold button and push all in 120k more which is about 1/3 of his stack and he calls with 66. I don't improve and am out.
Once again I am unsure if I made the right play here. I could have gotten away and still had 19 big blinds. I try not to let the prize money affect my decisions. In a sng or smaller tourney I make this move in a heartbeat but here I am playing for 11k and can't help wondering what if...

I think that was a pretty poor call with 66. You're viewed as tight, you just show up with AK, and you're raising utg... that dude should have folded in a heartbeat. Instead he gets fancy with a 3bet... he should have known full well you weren't going away and his 3bet had 0% FE. I'm pretty sure vs his range (I put him at 44+,A9s+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KJo+,QJo - which is a stupid ass calling range) you were at least 55%, and from his standpoint, your range should have been around 99+ AJs+ AQo+, none of which fold, and all of which beat him (61%).
I think you were fine there vs. that particular guy... vs a tighter opponent you might want to consider a fold, but vs him - you have him crushed.
I agree with Blaargh.
Pokerstove says shove is the right move.
