Default New to NL Tourns. is this weak PF? -resuluts in white-

I have only played in a few NL Tournaments but this hand made me scratch my head.
This was very early in a STT and I don't know if I made a mistake, please take a look and tell me if I was too weak preflop or was this just a suckout.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

SB (t1675)
BB (t445)
UTG (t2020)
MP1 (t530)
<font color="#C00000">MP2 (t1015)</font>
CO (t1425)
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t890)</font>

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t30, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls t70.

Flop: (t245) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets t225</font>,<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises ALL IN</font>, MP2 calls t565.

Turn: (t1035) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t1035) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t1035

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
MP2 has 5h Ac (flush, ace high).
Hero has As Ks (two pair, aces and kings).
Outcome: MP2 wins t1035. </font>

You played it fine. What's the problem? You got your money in as a big favorite.

If I wasn't so charitable, I'd say this was a bad beat story...

Assuming "MP2 bets t225, MP2 calls t565" means "MP2 bets t225, Hero is all in for t565", you played fine.

That was not my intention, and I did tell you in the title that results were included. I thought maybe I should have bet a larger amount preflop, apparently I did ok. Thanks for your input.

I think you raised the smallest amount you could get away with preflop and it be okay.

Anything smaller would be bad. You could raise to a bit more and still be fine.

Your raise preflop is a little small, but this is a bad beat post; don't do that.

There's 75 in the pot, plus your call of 30, so you should raise to 130 or so.

You could raise to 120 preflop but that's semantics, this is the situation you want, someone calling you with a weaker ace then putting his stack in on the flop. You played it perfectly, seriously.
