Hi TPE. I played a live $1100 MTT yesterday and got myself into an awkward spot with AK off – kind of hand that occurs frequently and  looking for some insight, please!

Blinds 75/400/800. I start the hand with approx 25000 in chips. I have been completely card dead for hours and have only played a few hands. There are four, very active pros at the 10 handed table, one to my immediate right. He opens, as usual, from UTG +2 ( about 30 BB stack) to 1800. I raise to 4500. Folds to big blind (50000 stack), one of the other active pros who calls. UTG +2 folds. I assume my 3 bet looks extremely strong due to my playing so little. He’s probably putting me on AK, JJ +

Flop is 3JT rainbow. BB checks, I bet 7500  into 12000 pot. He raises to put me all in for my remaining 13000. I fold, because I assume he thinks I’ll call and could well have an overpair. I’m giving him JT +

What would be a better way to play this hand?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
