How is this played with 3 tables left? This one 6 handed temporary as 19 people left in 55$ Main event with 15k field. Hero with 15BB on the BB, Villain 13

Is it poor and should have been more aggresive pre with shove or is it fine played as it was?

As played, all the postflop streets look good.

Yea i agree with the poster above, its a PKO so the opener being the big stack will be wider preflop.

Hard to know how much you should shove without exact payouts but i think ATo would be the bottom of your shoving range.

I would often shove here with ATo pre-flop unless Villain hasn't been raising much or at all pre-flop.

My range for shoving would also be very wide (assuming Villain isn't tight) so A6+/A2s+/66+/KQ/KJs
