£50 NLHE MTT: KK on paired flop facing two callers, all less than 20BB
Mid stage live MTT, 60 people remaining, 42 to cash, 10-handed
MP1 (Hero): 15BB
BTN: ~18BB, No particular read but he just doubled up after jamming 66 from SB facing open raise from BTN who called 44 with his jam.
SB: ~15BB No info
Hero raised with KK from MP2 to 2.5BB. BTN and SB called.
Flop JJ7 rainbow, Pot ~10BB
SB checked, Hero bet 33% pot, BTN called and SB folded.
Turn 4, still rainbow, Pot ~16.7BB, Hero bet 25% pot (hoping get called by A7s,78s,67s) but BTN re-raised to all in.
Given I had ~5BB left, I reluctantly called villain all in knowing he has 77,JQ,JK,JT,J9 in his range and not much bluff combo (maybe 89?)
If I instead check the turn, maybe easier to find a fold especially when villain had a bit of drama calling my flop bet.
Note the table is not particularly loose and no super short stack behind me so unlikely I would get a call if I shove 15BB preflop but it is a lower variance move that I would do when getting close to bubble.
How would you play this hand instead?
