So last night I found myself 3 handed in the $109 Stars NL tourney. I've been having many struggles on final tables lately and can't seem to book a win, though I've had many opportunities. This hand came up and I was wondering if you see a different way of playing it.

Stacks and Reads:
Button: 95k, has been playing pretty tight.
SB (Me): 72k before posting, I'm playing fairly tight but aggressive when I enter a pot.
BB: 160k, has been using the big stack well and is being very aggressive but not in a stupid way.

Blinds 4/8k w/ a 400 ante.

I find QTo in the SB. The button folds and it's on me. I have 68k left after posting.

Action?

Refer to the 2+2 magazine article from June about pushing from the SB. It really says it all and has the math and logic to back it up. Also, the handy charts make it very easy to use the strategy suggested - all you have to do is figure out which hands the BB is calling with!
