I like your play there. You probably have 15 outs, you may even be ahead already.
If you call and miss the turn then the numbers change.
A push here is nice and strong and there's no harm in taking it down here if he folds.

Should u slowplay ace-high? Yes, you need to extract as much as possible from your opponent with this holding. Sarcasm running high, but yes, raise that. I don't know about all in though.

Push this flop every time. Problem with calling is the stack sizes. On the turn the pot goes to 615 and you've only got 915 behind.
If the turn misses and the BB bets 1/2 (~300) the pot again, you're going to lose your folding equity entirely (if you push, he'll be getting 2:1 on the call).
When the stack sizes are in this awkward range, calling in position on a draw is the worst thing you can do. Because your opponent will be first to bet next round, if he fires again at the pot he essentially destroys your folding equity. So being in position on the draw in the situation is actually worse than being OOP and having the villian call in position (because then you can come out pushing the turn before he gets to act).
Anytime you considering what your decision is going to be on one street, take a second to think about what the next street (or two) will look like . . . .
All that said, this early in the tourney I call PF because picking up the blinds is worthless and you'll be OOP if called by anyone other than the blinds . . .

Slow play what? You post the right HH for that?? I'm pretty sure that was a typo, cause in the HH you posted, there isn't anything to slow play.

With a larger stack, calling may have been correct. BUt the size of your stack pretty much limited your actions on the next street, and then you would have offered such good odds that he may have been inclined to call the semi-bluff. If your stack had been about 3x, your 15 outs may have called for a flat call and a push on the turn to get more out of the guy.
