Both sb and bb seem disproportionately loose to their stack sizes and the number of players at the table. I chose not to open shove because of the nit on the button. I thought that it would be more profitable if I can get away if he jams, and provoke resteals from the blinds against which 77 is good to go.

The problem arises when sb decides to call before bb pushes all-in. I'm not sure wether a perspective of a three-way right into the money makes that a healthy reshove.

Payouts:
1. 5.95
2. 3.56
3. 2.37

Good thinking with the minraise!

Id like to have some more reads on SB, but if all I have is that he is on the loose side, Id think that he wont trap often enough. So all-in looks good.

SB 80/37/0 over 10. Without tournament filters his overall stats were 49/22/6 (51 hands).
BB 31/25/20 over 14. Overall: 20/12/4 (51). His broader picture looks reasonable but as I said I recall him going too far, especially when defending his blinds, as the game progressed.

In this spot you need about 60 % equity against his range. Are you sure, you have it? Which range do you give BB and SB? I would think about a nit-fold here.....

You seem to be assuming SB always calls? Id argue SB folds quite a lot here.

I think it is perfectly played as is.

I agree. SB looks splashy and fishy. Shove her will often shut them out, and even taking 50/50 with overlay from sb makes this a fine spot to shove in my view.

Would we do the same with 22-55?!

I'm not so sure about this. I'm not worried about SB trapping, I'm worried about shoving into a spot where you're likely just under 50% against BB. Sure with all the dead money it's +ev from a pure equity perspective, but this isn't an MTT. You have a top 3 stack with 5 left so the ICM risk of dropping to 10bb is pretty huge. In STTs you really have to err on the side of stack preservation in close spots like this.
