$11 PP MTT - Time for Tens

Down to final 4 tables in PP $11 MTT, pretty far ITM. My stack is about 12BB, which is right about average at this point. Just got moved to this table a few hands back and haven't seen this Villain before, so no strong reads.

Made my standard raise PF behind 1 limper. Should I have either just limped or raised more with a vulnerable pair?

Flop came K78 rainbow, checked to me. Pot is about the size of my remaining stack. Was that a reasonable push?

Sorry, having some converter issues at the moment...working on that.

Raise more preflop. A push is your best move.

I would have tried to get it in preflop myself. Looks like he got you with a KQ suited or AK.

He had KJ, but whatever, I still feel good about the push given the situation.

When I pushed, I had his range on any decent ace other than AK, any smaller pocket pair, JJ, KQ, KJ. Didn't think he was on AK, would have expected a PF action other than limp. Not a lot of hands that I felt I was behind.

But I do see now that a PF all-in would probably have been a stronger play with a vulnerable pair and a solid chipstack to give me some serious FE, even against the chip leaders at my table.

Part of the problem, I think, was moving tables. I had been at my last table a while, and standard 3-4 BB raises were picking up a lot of pots without contention, and I didn't have a feel for the new table yet.
