Live home game hand advice...
 

Home game, NL 15 man tourney. At least 12 very solid players in the group. 4 men down 3.5 hrs. into the tourney (rebuys for 1st hour).Hero 3500 BB: 4000 chips, avg. chip stack 2500.
Blinds 100-200 Hero has 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on button. 3 limpers, I limp, BB raises to 800. 2 callers, I call.
Flop: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] BB bets 1000, everyone folds to me, I call. Turn: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] BB checks, I check, River: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] BB bets 1000, I am hoping that BB has AK, but put him on QQ or KK based on his raise from the BB. I call, he turns KK and takes pot, crippling me.
Questions:
My thinking - the BB is my biggest competition, I have a chance to cripple him early on with no flush or straight draw on the board - I feel that after the flop I am in a commanding position.
1) The BB is probably one of the best players in the room, I am 90% certain he has a big pair, and not aces only 2 outs to beat me (Q or K). Should I have taken the pot down after the flop?
2) After the check on the turn, should I have thrown a teaser bet and try to bring him all in?
I held my last 700 or so chips and manged to finish 7th while the BB went on to win? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

don't check the turn. you don't want to play scared, but the slowplay was done very poorly. When you slow play, you want a crazy super monster hand that will make your opponent a second best hand. For all i know, QJs is possible(home game playes often do stuff like that), since the continuation bet is standard, and it bought him a free river. Should have bet the turn.
