My thoughts:
Pre - It's getting deep in the tourney and I'm trying to attack UTG who's limping in and awful lot and I want to isolate him wherever possible with any playable hand. I'll admit that the stacksizes are a bit off to try this, esp if a 3rd player enters the pot; which did happen.
Flop: This is where I realised the stacks were a bit shallow; hence the small c-bet to allow at least a 1/2 pot turn shove. I feel the straight or a set is seldom in villain's hand once the BB folds to the c-bet, since he'll generally call one bet with any 2 overcards and any pair given the size of the c-bet and shove a straight.
The turn is a scary looking card for him but not so much for me. A shove should get a fold from any pair hands, most 2-pairs and (maybe though unlikely) a set. Also, I'm unlikely to be ahead at this point, so I've got to commit to try and win the pot.
