Playing in a $10 buy-in Potlimit Hold'em touney. The play is very LAG, and during the first 45 minutes I haven't really caught any playable hands, so I'm blinded down to t1,330 while the average stack is around t1,800; the blinds have just gone up to t50/t100.

Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif. Hero posts a blind of t50.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO <font color="purple">(Loose Limper)</font> calls t100, Button folds, Hero (poster) completes, BB <font color="purple">(New Player)</font> checks.
Flop: (t300) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>

Final Pot:
<font color="green">Main Pot: </font>t3,060<font color="white">Pot won by Loose Limper (t3,060).</font>
Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero has Js Ts (one pair, tens).
Loose Limper has As Ah (one pair, aces).
Outcome: Loose Limper wins t3,060. </font>
The CO has been at my table from the get-go and has been playing incredibly loose; having my pot size bet called two places on the flop is clearly reason for concern, but when they both check the turn I put them on flush draws or second-pair type holdings, and decide to move in when the flush doesn't come - hoping to discourage river bluff bets I'd be hard pressed to call. Instead I figure my move would have a shot at folding a tie of a slightly better hands.
I'd love a reality check: did my play make any kind of sense or just it was another melt-down? When it comes to multi-table tourneys I've kinda felt somewhat lost lately ... thank you!
Best,
