I'm sure it's 3 handed, this is a shootout tourney with 4 man tables.

I'd shove ATC preflop from the SB here. Only 1st advances. I'm certainly shoving a pocket pair, even 22. I hope villain calls with 2 overcards and I win the flip.

As played, ugh. Why bet only 300 on the flop? You need to be aware of stack sizes - I think any bet commits you so make a big bet if you're going to bet.

On the turn, how can you fold? You're crippled if you give up. Shove and hope villain is on a flush draw.

Thanks for replies. I'm curious if anyone would like this line.

Calling in the sb with two decues given the stack sizes. If he raises then pushing on him. If he doesn't then just betting out on the flop and giving up to a call or even double barraling the turn. Then we can easily get away from it.

problem with that is you dont have any fold equity then, and youre simply relying on your hand strength, which is the worst pair you can have.

double barreling or whatever your other plan here is a horrible idea. you have 14 blinds, you really cant afford to be burning chips. i think id take this to the sng forum to be honest.

i know if its me, its a very easy shove and im happy picking up 150 chips or praying for a race.

a pair is a pretty powerful hand 3 handed but it is...deuces.

And I hate limping because you are flipping with any non-pair hand without a 2. Villain could have 53 and hit a 5, if you raise/shove villain will (should) never see a flop.
