Well my move would be like this, bet only 2x pre. If they are that short they would pretty much fold their trash hands for any amount.
So smaller pot flop (unlucky that both of them called anyway made the pot alot bigger with just a second pair) i would check behind not much to play there. If turn unimproved probably fold if one of them bet since it's pretty much s shove.

I took a very aggressive line and shoved all in on the flop. The way I see it, I would have heard from premiums preflop so they don't have strong ranges. QT, Q9, JT, J9s, QJ, KJ, AT, AJ, and some pocket pairs set mining. The way I looked at it, I block a lot of these combos, KJ, QJ, JT, QT, so that leaves not too many value hands they can call with. My experience in these tournaments is they will bet if they have it.

I could checked behind and fold turns and play very conservatively, but I was playing for the win and wanted this pot. Not to mention the fact that I believed I was a favourite, 61/39 in fact, and I would still have a decent stack if I lost.

I prefer to fold this pre-flop hand so as not to put me in difficult situations in this position. But as you got into the hand, it's worth a bet of half the pot in continuation bet
