Anyone like this? Only reason I shoved is because short stack was going to be committed and figured I could isolate here.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t1490)
UTG+1 (t2570)
MP1 (t1600)
MP2 (t270)
MP3 (t1530)
CO (t1710)
Button (t1470)
SB (t1380)
BB (t1480)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Hero calls t30, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to t120, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB calls t105, BB folds, Hero raises to t1490 (All-in),

I do not know if you need to shove to isolate? Wait now that I look at it, the smals stack only raised $120...looks like he is looking for action? THus has a Big Hand? if he has you dominated why not play a side pot with the BB? on a weak flop check...let the Small Stack push the flop ...the BB call and check raise him?

Let me know what you think...

I don't like it. You're only going to get calls by hands that beat you.....and AK...sometimes AQ.

I would just raise it up preflop. It gives you more information than the way you played this.

I like it
You are way ahead of MP2's range here and SB's as well.

looks fine given stack sizes, not sure why you didnt just open raise here though

My mistake....I misread the stack sizes. I think your push is fine. I would have just open raised though.
