A gook-pt-uh butchered hand. Did i butcher this or was it optimal?

[NoflopsHomer]

I wouldn't have flat called the flop, bump it up to 6-6.5k, .

Why?

I have the best hand so I'm value betting and raising here. You could make the re-raise a bit smaller 5-5.5k but I'm not slow playing often here OOP. I'd hate to see a 10 J Q or A on the turn so I'm making him pay for it.

So you want to scare off the worse hands now so that they don't outdraw you later?

i C/R turn. i dont want a scare card to hit and kill my river value. it is pretty tight tho

No, I want him to make a mistake by calling with a worse hand like 1010-QQ and AK, which, following the line is what I put him on (bar maybe AK) but at the same time I'm not making it cheap either when I don't have position.

all worse hands fold with this line benny, unless opponent is a complete drooler. You dont facilitate him making an easy mistake, you make it easier for him to play optimally.

Yeah.
I think c/r turn is the right play given stack sizes, vulnerablility of hand (oop v unknown) and stage of tournament.

raise more pre. Shove flop pray he doesn't have a 9 or 77.

Can't let those 2 outers hit all the time its bad play.

His flat call of a re-raise pre-flop (especially with the original raiser still to act) and then a min-raise on the flop is very weak play IMO so there is a chance he could pay you off with a lower pocket pair. I'm not saying you played the flop incorrectly this is just how I'd play it if I was OOP and how the guy has bet so far.
