Blinds-120\240
Pre Flop: Me(BB) with [8h,Kc]
(UTG) folds,(BTN) folds, (SB) calls 120, Me(BB) checks

Flop: (8s,Ac,3c) (2 players)
(SB) checks, Me(BB) bets 240, (SB) raises 1200, Me(BB) raises 3512, (SB) calls 1260

Turn: (6s)

River: (3h)

I contemplated if he had a ace,from his prior play I assume he would raise a ace and the cr made me wonder what can he do that with other then ace,flush draw..It didn't add up for me atm so I figure it was bluff\semi bluff on flush draw,I didnt want to call and I opted to go allin use the the bubble for pressure.

this is commonly known as a suicide play, you have literally 0 reasons to get it in here, these spots you just have to take a step back and make a sigh/fold. He's likely full of shit, but he always has equity and he's probably not folding after he dumps so many chips in. People do play Ax this way from time to time especially in lower level STT.

So try not to assume he wouldnt play hands a certain way, you have to realize you are vs bad players for the most part, they do not think like you do. They just click buttons and have fun. But the best thing about those players is that you don't have to be tricky and they will make fundimental mistakes over time like not raising enough or jamming/calling enough in the late game. You have so much time left in the SNG, look to get into the money first and let them make the mistakes.

I think I raise preflop, hoping to take it down immediately.

Postflop feels very much like a semi-bluff, and since he's never folding with half his stack in the middle, I can relate to a shove.

High-variance, though, imo. Folding would be a lot safer, even if we have the best hand now.
