AKo early on - Overcard flop

[Elektrik]

Party $30+3. First hand of the tourney. Ugh, I keep going back and forth. Flop bets like this seem to get called a lot, but there's a decent chance you take it right there. I generally don't plan to fire a second barrel once I'm called here.

Part of my likes checking. If he checks on the turn, then I'll bet it there. Most players won't slowplay the turn and river (although if they play back at me I'm folding).

I think you played this fine.

Looks fine to me, especially since you have one of the big clubs.

Does anyone like firing out 225 on the turn as he might fold, you charge him for a draw, and if he is drawing and misses you likely get a free showdown?
