If BB called, that sucks, but this is never a spew when you're potentially up against only 4200 chips when you have 47k.

what's wrong with calling and trying to check him out of the tourney if BB is not super aggressive?

Is this really standard? (serious question, I'm trying to improve my MTT game [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) Obv it's already a nice pot, especially HU against MP1's ATC, but still... Is it plain standard no discussion?

We probably have the best hand. No reason to hand BB the opporunity to profitably catch up.

It's very very standard. Reasons not to call:
A) Villain is pushing a wide range
B) You have nothing to gain by letting villain go out (OP didn't state anything about being close to the money, final table bubble etc)
C) By calling, you can let BB push you out of the pot, or let him catch up on the flop. He will only call a push with a biggish hand. If he has it, [censored] happens. You would instapush this if it were folded to you anyway.

You are the second shortest stack and there are 12000 chips up for grabs. These chips are exponentially more important to you than this guy getting eliminated.

Table was tight
I thought this was the only move I cant see calling and then folding to a BB reraise PF or folding FLOP so I might as well get it in. Not that it mattered but I flopped top pair and had Flushdraw MP had K10o but big blind called and flopped a set of AAA.
