Default How badly did I play this hand?

Stars $10+1, 10 minute levels. Started with about 1100 players, about 100 remaining (it is the bubble).

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t1200 (9 handed) converter

BB (t18385)
UTG (t27685)
UTG+1 (t13835)
MP1 (t21180)
MP2 (t20248)
MP3 (t16993)
CO (t9465)
Hero (t20691)
SB (t21676)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t1200, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3500</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t2300.

Flop: (t7600) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t5000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t10000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t17116</font>, MP1 calls t7116.

Final pot was about t43,000

See, I realized *after* I bet the 5k and he min raised me, if I go all-in my folding equity is zilch, but I'm getting great odds assuming he's not also on the flush draw. What should I have done differently (besides not playing 32s)?

Besides playing the hand to begin with when you are checkraised either call, and hope to catch a diamond, or fold. Once you reraise you are pot committed. Do you really want to go all in with a 3 high flush draw?

if ur gonna try and steal preflop, you need to raise more. limper is getting good odds on the call with the antes, blinds+his limp, and ur raise in the pot

I don't get reraising his check-raise on the flop. The odds that he is going to fold are about zero and there's no way that your winning.

After I was checkraised, I noticed that I was getting the right pot odds to play all-in assuming he doesn't have a flush draw. I had him on Ax, so I was pretty confident my flush would be good.

I think it's obvious that he's not going to fold... and I wasn't expecting him to, either. My thought process was that the pot odds are good and if I win I'll be in fantastic shape.

As for the preflop raise, I concede that it was too puny to give me good folding equity. I frequently miscalculate to what I should be raising in these situations, I should take more time to think before acting, I guess.
