2/3, max buy in $200, about 2 orbits since I sat down

Folds around to me with KK OTB, I make it $12. Both blinds defend.

SB (covers me) is a younger Asian guy, seems fairly competent but might be auto-piloting as he is playing poker on his phone lol. BB (~$75 starting the hand) is an older Asian guy and no real reads except he seems kinda gambooley based on a conversation going on regarding a prior hand.

Flop JT6 both blinds check and I bet $30. SB calls and BB shoves for $62 straight. BTN shoves or calls?

If I were to call, my plan would to get it on any non-ace turn. However, it feels like calling flop in these spots is perceived by most low limit players to be stronger than shoving, and at the same time I also don't necessarily don't want to go multiway with a pair. I'm pretty sure this is an easy shove though.

Seems like a shove to me with a 100BB stack. Too many draws out there to do anything else after that flop action.

Agreed, just shove.

Snap shoving here.

He'll have some JT, but you should be good a fair amount to make this +EV against draws.

That's what I figured and ended up doing. SB tank folded.

I would raise slightly more preflop to have a slightly more comfortable stack off situation postflop (cuz we'll be stacking off pretty much 100% of the time on non-Ace flops given the small SPR we'll be creating).

SPR is just over 5ish (I'd prefer <= 4 hence why I'd raise more preflop but I'm on the conservative end of things regarding offering my opponents IO). Board is super drawy. I'd actually overbet the flop to about $50 so that I can shove a ~PSB on the turn.

As played, I'd shove now on this drawy board.

Overall, when you're playing this short with big pairs you want to work towards commitment ASAP, imo.
