Seems like I lose more hands on the river than I win.

Without a read on UTG+1 you should assume that a limp/AI = AA/KK at this level, fold.

If you had a read then good play and this belongs in BBV.

Raise more preflop if this is a tight table ~700
If this is a loose table then call and play post-flop poker.
If the BB has been squeezing limpers then call/shove here.

I could lie and say I had a read, but I was actually playing more my hand than reading. As for your other recommendations, I will take them into account in future tourneys

One question; if my AK had been suited, and I assumed that the limp/AI = AA/KK, would I still fold?
