Im a bit of a tourney noob, so im wondering if this is a spot where i should reraise and go for it, hopeing he has Tx,78 FD JJ/QQ. also because its a 3betpot
Or should i be on the more carefull and give him more of a range on 55,66,TT,56, combodraws

I diddnt have manny reads, not much hands played yet, he seemed reggish...

I think I woud have re-raised a bit higher preflop, 3200 to 3500 for value.
It is a tricky spot and you are either ahead or well behind, I don't think I could fold at this point. The stack.pot ratio is high so that any bet is committing. There is a decent chance of it being a semibluff 3 bet, a set or AT. With having the K I don't really mind the flat and try for quite wide value maybe a c/r to get it in on the turn if the player seemed aggro but usually just push. Without the I wouldn't like flatting at all and I much prefer to push on this flop. It could be a flush draw trying to buy a cheap river card so I would want to charge.

I make it 4k preflop. Secondly, here I feel we have 2 options, I think we either check then raise. Or bet raise. I really don't mind flatting, but once he raises our flop bet to 7.5k I think we can ship and and be decently happy to get our money in. If he is holding a flush draw he can call. Problem with flatting is if a Diamond comes on the turn we don't know where we are and he can raise or bet depending on our action on the turn. Therefore I think attempting to stack OTF is the best play! As played I ship or make it a large bet.

Since it is a 3 bet pot Button vs Blind, he could be on a wide range he is flatting. On the flop he could definitely raise any 10 here and not be too worried about overs. Without any reads I think you have to go with it due to SPR (Stack to Pot Ratio).

I like your sizing tbh it's not like they will notice we are raising smaller ore with stronger hands, on the flop when he raises here I would call with the k of diamonds to allow him to bluff the turn I think you have his range crushed
