6-man tourney, top 2 get paid (65% first, 35% second).

Mucking pre seems pretty nitty; maybe just check given this flop's texture?

cbet slightly higher (175-200) and give up when called

completing preflop and betting 90 on any flop works too and costs the same as making your 2.5x preflop raise

True, but we lose fold equity preflop (and even postflop) and have less information about BB's hand.

I realize limping can be profitably done here, but I personally prefer to raise or fold from the SB. I might be mistaken, but I think a fair proportion of winning SNG players only raise or fold from the SB, with at least, say, 20bb?

As you might have figured out if you read my accompanying text, just because the last action has "??" doesn't mean it's the only thing I'm asking about. Your post offers virtually nothing in terms of strategic content.

not a hand i personally raise with as it can get tricky in alot of spots where we hit tp with a Q etc. id probably fold preflop here.
as played im never cbetting this flop, just so coordinated just throwing chips at BB.

Anything other than raising pf here is bad. I would have to know that villain is a huge nit to not c/f flop
