card dead after the break at a MTT

Played really well the other night in a £20 rebuy MTT I did not have to rebuy and had 12,000 chips at the break the average was 3500 I did not add on either (3000 for another £20). After the break however my best hand for the 2 hours was KJo I even raised with it in LP and got reraised so I passed in the end I'm down to 6000 with blinds at 2-400 and antes of 100 I've got J10o in the cut off and shove get the button calling with AKo and I hit my J but he hits his ace and I'm out. Should I try to bluff more as even if I'm trying a steal there was always a couple of limpers before me it just with junk what can you do?

Late in a tournament, when you are not in a favorable chip position you do need to look for good spots to steal. The alternative is to get blinded out, so stealing with any two cards is always a better option.

If you have a tracking program (PT3 or HEM) you can easily see which of the preflop callers would fold easily to a raise. This will give you a means of knowing when the best time to put some chips in there will be.

dg1267 is right here. so you do not have to play it to have a play Tight flop to look closely to see if you can have the best esty. Tight aggressive play me like a little only when I have coins or I feel he has nothing gives x2 blind

With 1200/2400 blinds and 6000 chip stack you waited way too long to try and steal, watch your M, if you get to 10 or lower you need to start thinking about stealing without hands, no alternative.

If you do not get cards play your position and try to steal the blinds.
Thats what keeps you alive.......

This is correct. even when the antes start late with in the tourm. I normaly steal the blinds about 1/3 of the time per 4 orbits of the dealer button
