I would be thankful to hear your opinions about this situation ..

Its very late stage in tournament ( almost approaching final table )
I am at big blind holding KhJs of suit , everyone fold and small blind just limps in ,, I go ahead and press the check button,the flop is ,,JhJc 6d ,,SB checks I raised about 30% of the pot and he calls , the turn is 3ofd, he checked again and I check back to make him feel I was bluffing , at least that's what I was thinking , alright the river is 9h,, SB raised nearly 75% of the pot and I shoved all in he quickly calls and shows AJ , so I busted .
I really wanna know what is the best play in this situations ??

Not much you could have done more, it's a cooler. Maybe if you had raised 3bb before flop, he might have reraised you, then you could of folded,but if he only called, you still would of gone broke, nut much you could do.

Blind on blind is really hard to put opponents on ranges. It is just another cooler really no way to get away from. You are supposed to go broke if you don't you will miss out value in the long run for the times you are ahead

If you want to nit pick depending on on how much chips you had on the river you could have just called 75% pot bet is usally a big hand or a big bluff making a raise irrelevant i.e. only really strong hands would call you most have you beat and bluffs will of course fold.

First of all its not a raise if there isnt a bet before you

second of all its just a cooler, dont worry about it too much, you made a few mistakes in this hand, but you just gotta keep practicing and working on postflop skills

Checking to the flop was fine
bet the flop bigger

Other than that, goodluck
