Three handed you can't wait for a good hand with the high blinds, you have to shove almost any two cards at some point, on the button and from the SB when button folds to you.

Keep in mind that to call you need a much better hand than to shove, since you have fold equity.

Itm I limp first to act SB big stack limps and BB smaller stack shoves. I think next time I call. I forgot to mention in the middle stage of the sng I folded trip dueces A2 suited vs two pre flop all in AQ and KK.

I think you did what you thought It would be better for you,so I think you made a good fold.

In the situation you describe you should indeed call with more hands, since the range of the BB is way wider since two limpers give him great odds. Google limp squeeze for more info.

What he thinks would be better may not be what is best, so his thinking is irrelevant. In order to be able to actually assess the hand, we need to know blinds, how quick blinds go up, how many chips each person has, any tendencies or frequencies the players have exhibited. KQ is a very strong holding in final three, but the right move is hidden in the other information OP didn’t give us.

Without knowing exact sizes of all player's chipstacks (with size of blinds & antes) & the exact payouts, your question can't be answered decently. ICM is a big thing to consider but also other stuff here too ... ie. skill of other players; have we been picking up chips uncontested?; are the other players on table wise to ICM?; etc. etc.
