First, I would ask about your and his image? You both have a stack, he just has you slightly covered. He did raise pre behind you. His check on the flop and flat on the turn to me would indicate he has something of value but without knowing more information about him I would hesitate to try and guess what he may be playing here.
Though the possibility of a flush draw is also there so what were the possibilities of him chasing that?
Your river all in is for almost 3x the pot size so I am guessing you have him on a hand he is calling with?

WAT.
I guess my thinking was only a king calls anything here.

I would be hoping he had a K, and that was my first thought ofcourse. But just thinking about it more, if he thought he was slowplaying you with a K and hit his boat there, somehow I would think all the chips are going in regardless.
If there is a chance he was being a goober and chasing say suited connectors that he thought were pretty you are either going to win the same pot as you would with that shove or win the same pot as you would with a bet...unless for some reason he thinks he can make you fold. Perhaps I am jaded but I see it so often that I can't help but think that.

he needs a king to call, if he doesn't have it hes folding. maybe hell call with AA too. its possible hed call with a flush but likely hed lay down if hes any good. i think most made hands, will call a value bet and any king will reraise so i think that's a better play. give a chance for him to bluff lesser hands. of course its possible through previous play to put him on a king so if your sure then thats the better play. im prob value betting though, something that he thinks i could lay down to a shove. there is also the possiblity of KK which i don't think you have to worry about in the long term of course.

Well as played to the river, I bet whatever I think he will call without a K. That way you get something if he has AA or a flush perhaps. If he has a K he is re-raising and you get to push then. Pushing first means you likely only get a call with a K. Best of both worlds IMO... lol... I am not concerned about KK... ever..
I also like a weak lead at the flop as if you have a so so K.

I disagree with this idea. This is a chance to double up on the river if he has a king, or make an extra 300 or so chips if he has a flush. I would much rather take the chance he has a king, and give up the few extra chips you might get with a smaller value bet. And, unless he has a bigger full house, it is unlikely he will raise with just a king. The overshove looks like a bully tactic to steal a chopped pot. I think this is especially effective because it is a rebuy tournament. The only thing to worry about is if he thinks you are shoving with a bigger full house. But I think it is worth the chance.

there is no bigger full house, hes more likely to reraise with a king than to call a shove with a flush. no one is thinking k6. seeing its a rebuy now i can see the argument but i would value bet.

Uhhh, any K is the only reasonable full house...... Please re-read. I do agree that he calls an all in shove with any K. Trick is with a value bet you get your double up if he has a K and at least some chips if he has a decent hand. OP is unlikely to consider the quads...
My thoughts were that a value bet might net me a couple hundred chips, but I stack him 100% of the time that he has a king. He could also hero something bizarre if he thinks Im a spaz.
btw this is not a rebuy. It is a 1r, 1a and almost everyone insta adds on. If I bust him hes out.
Edit: No idea what he had cuz my brilliant play resulted in a fold.

Interesting spot....I think on this one, you have to go with your read on the other player. (ie. is he likely to hero call with Q's or such)
If he has a king, all the chips are likely getting in no matter how it's done......the trick is to get as much value over other hands as possible.
If you set the value bet @ $700 (a little less than half the pot), and he calls any non-king made hand I would say 50% of the time.....giving you an average profit of $350 on the river.
If you shove $3150, and he calls any non-king hand say 15% of the time....giving you an average profit of $472.50.
I think a shove has the best value.....of course my calling percentages may be off, this is where your read comes in.
