Re: 44 Button Late in Tourney - where was I in this hand?

Limping for almost a quarter of your stack is anawful play here. You need to push preflop.
Here's a rule, if you have less than ten times the BB raise or fold preflop, never call.

Treat that like the golden rule. But let's assume you misclicked and saw the flop on a limp. That flop is pretty good for you. Since he would have likely raised an ace, and since there are two on the flop, odds are great he doesn't have one.
Bet half the pot and he'll fold the flop most of the time. If he calls he might have a deuce, which is fine, he'll be calling when he's behind. It's unlikely that he has a pair bigger than yours, or he would have raised.
If you get to the turn after a call, it gets a little tricky. You won't have much left. I'm weak tight, so I would probably check it down and fold to any decent sized bet. But you can argue to call a river bet because the pot will be big enough and he'd bluff enough to make the call profitable.
