    I find these hard to follow at times. Did you have 14,392 chips after the raise? or before the raise?
    To be honest I like the way you played it either way. If you had 12bb's then it ok to shove also.

    depends what you have been doing up to this. If youhavent being shoving I make it 3.3k and obv call it off, shoving seems fine too

    Once he limps UTG I cant jam quick enough with 16bigs and the extra dead money.

    Were def called by worse, picking up pot risk free otherwise.  Getting stationed and being left with 11k pot and 14k back isnt pretty when we get an over or two on flop.  Plus getting paid is tricky on barren flop.

    Your stack size is slighty tricky though.

    Hate his limp call.

    liked hes jam all in tho chuckles i just thought i want a call here im confident in my flop play i didnt want to go all in because i feel he would fold i wanted to double up here so raised it enough so he could call i was lucky he hit a piece of it granted

    I dont play many tourny's but with only just under 12BB I would have thought the shove was the way to go as players will at this stage be shoving with weaker hands so could hind your strentgh.

    Also issue that many good tourney players will recognise what that bet size from a 16bb really means.  Auto folding all the hands you want to keep in, but c/fing a high % of flops when calling.

    When shoving we disguise our range better.  Having a higher likelyhood of being called aipf by a stacked Apic or worse PP.
