i didn't read any replies but this is my guess - why not check the turn?

Keep in mind that on a paired board, a flush draw only has seven (sometimes eight) outs on the river, plus one that stacks him vs. your boat.

The check-calls on both the flop and turn and then going all-in on the river gives me very bad AK-feelings or maybe pocket kings/tens.

I might be able to get out of this if I had any kind of read on him, but otherwise I'd just call the all-in, knowing beforehand I'd already lost it.

The one play that could save enough chips would be to check the turn, just wanting to see the showdown, and then folding when he goes all-in on the river, but that's probably weak-tight given the very few hands that would beat you.
The only hand that could play this way that you've got beaten is a busted flush draw, but I don't think a lot of people would play that on a board with paired aces.

I go broke here and when this kind of [censored] happens I don't even get upset anymore...

I think the buy-in of the tournament is very important here. I play the 22s so this is an easy go broke for me. Like others have said though, could be a possible lay down at higher buy-ins though.

I go broke here. Similar happened to me on the first hand of a 33 yesterday. Get dealt 44 in the SB. EP raises from 10 to 40. I call, BB calls. Flop is A 5 4, two clubs. I bet about 90 (pot of 120), hoping for a big ace to come back over the top. BB calls, EP calls--I figure him for the AJ or such, and BB could have a wider range. Turn is a 2. "Great. BB probably has A3o & just hit his wheel." I say to myself. I bet out anyway, 200. BB calls, EP folds (later says he did indeed have AJ). River's another 2. "Whew, outdrew his wheel." I bet 300, just less than half his remaining stack, hoping for a call. BB reraises all in. I call, expecting to coast a nice stack thru much the rest of the tourney. Instead, he flips over pocket 22s and I go broke, unable to do anything about it.
