Below is hand that I normally wouldn't play this way. I'd normally re-raise in hopes of taking whats in the pot preflop or stealing after the flop going all in no matter what flopped. I played this differently because of the advice i've gotten here. The mantra "Don't risk all your chips early in the tourney in a risky situation" was going through my head. Was this the correct play? or should I have taken advantage of AKs?
Btw, the very next hand I more than doubled up with AQos.

That's pretty irrelevant to how this hand was played, no?

I will also limp with AK in lvl1-2, depending on my position, the action before me and my feel for the table. Folding the flop is fine.

Fine. I might pay the 50 on the flop to see if I can turn an ace or a king (although why such a small bet from villain?), or another diamond getting 3:1, but this is probably a bit loose. Maybe an argument can be made from implied oddds? Probably not. You played the hand fine.

The reason I mentioned it is because of the things I've learned here I was available to win a huge pot.
