Hey guys, first post here in STTF. I've started playing the 9mans recently, would like some input on this hand.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (3 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Button (t5095)
SB (t2455)
Hero (t5950)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Button raises to t1200, SB folds, Hero raises to t5925 (All-in), Button calls t3870 (All-in)

Flop: (t11670) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Turn: (t11670) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t11670) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)

His stats were 34/22/7 as he was raising alot pf. I don't really think he can call this which is why I pushed. I don't have SNGPT though so I'm not sure if it is correct.

I really wasn't expecting a call, and was quite surprised when he turned over 33. I'm new to the whole protecting the bubble/putting pressure on people when there is another short stack in the tourney. Was the third persons stack short enough for me to make this play. Is calling with 33 correct here for villian? I mean, he knows it is a race, or possible 20/80.

Anyway, I didn't know he had 33. Do you think he folds often enough for this move to be good?

(NB : I play at lower stakes)

I am pretty sure the call with 33 is bad.

For the rest I really don't know, but I would not do it against a vilain that loose

Villain is a moron. Any good player would not call w/ 33 in this spot. I do not like the push for four reasons (in no particular order):

1. He is the other big stack.

2. There is a small stack.

3. O6o sucks.

4. We have no read, that says he will raise from the button and fold to a push.

If you aren't doing this with any 2 here then what do you need to make this move?
