AKo early in a 10+1, anything wrong with this?

Party 10+1 Multi Table NLHE

This took place very early, probably only the 5th hand of the tournament. What do you think about the pre-flop raise? Strong enough given my position, or too weak based on the number of people in the pot?

What do you make of Villain's raise after the flop? With so few hands I had no information here. I guess there was room for some concern when he made a cold call PF, then bet 350 into me on that flop. W/O other info though I felt this was an auto-push. I'm not to worried about the actual result of this hand. I'd like to know if you think my thinking was correct, especially this early in a MTT. Should I take a similar approach in the future?

No, You got 3to1 on your money as a huge favorite. I think if one of the guys flopped a set so be it time for next tourney. I think you played it correctly, just bad luck.

No, you just got donkstruck. I would rarely call a preflop raise with J8h, but his flop bet was a way to try and pick up the hand right there, but with outs. Write his name down, you'll take his chips later in your poker life.
