Default Thanks+Standard Play?

Hey all,

Since I won a MTT at PP for a $5K score in February, I've moved primarily to cash games, but I've still lurked here to keep my tourney strategy up to par.

Last night I made the final table on FTP's 10+1 (about 300 entrants). It wasn't much of a win for 8th place, but I'm happy with it since it's been a long time since I've played a tournament and an even longer one since I've done well. Plus, I think low buy in tournaments are just fun. Thanks for all the knowledge that you all given out.

Anyway, here's my bust hand. Down to 8, I'm in the BB with
K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I've only got T21,000 (2nd low stack) after I hit air with pocket 7's on the button with three overcards on the board and a push from another player. Blinds are 800-1600 with a 150 ante. Villian (covers), a solid player, calls UTG and it folds around to the SB (covers), who also calls.

I considered pushing, but I know that UTG has it out for me, and I'm not going to be surprised in the least if he's got a hand. When there were two tables left, I reraised him all in twice in one orbit follwing his early position raises (I had KK and JJ on those hands). He's seems pretty good, and I have a thought that the EP call might be a trap. Given this read, I check.

Anyway, flop comes 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
SB checks, I push just under 20K into a 6K pot. Thoughts?
