About LinkBacksOk this is only about the 3rd or 4th hand into a $10 tournament.
I am dealt Ah Qh and raise 4x the bb. one guy min raises me and action folds to me. I call
Flop: Ad 3s 7c
I check to him and he pot bets it. I re-raise all in and he calls.
Turn: Ks
River: 2c
Is this a standard play or way too loose for early in a tourney? I will post his hand after a few responses.

seems alright, i guess most of the value comes from the fold equity of the c/r against JJ-KK, depends if donks will play AJ like this? sounds like you ran into AK.
i don't play donkaments so i may be way off.

Post stack sizes and blinds. Also, what's the buy in and tourney structure?
piv was that a brain fart? We get value from folding out JJ-KK???!!!!

everyone is still at about 1500 in chips and blinds are 10/20 i believe.

make a normal size check raise instead of shoving it all in. A shove hugely narrows the range of hands that will call and give you value. You're also risking your whole stack for less than 300 chips(?) Most hands that will call a shove there will have you beat such as AK, which I'm assuming is what villain had.

I'd lead out and fold if there's any action. He has to have some guts to come over the top with KK, knowing that you probably have an ace.

Yeah I don't think you can raise/fold here. Minraise preflop is somewhat rare but it's often AA/KK, sometimes any pp from idiots who think they need to sweeten the pot in case they hit a set or something. I don't expect to see AK here very often. So CRAI is fine.
