Hated this, what should I have done (Stars 16 Turbo)

[Melchiades]

I am pretty confident in my postflop play. I donked it away here, but no biggie. I came back to 2000 in this SnG btw and then lost it all to the villain in this hand all in with AQ vs his A3. So he probably had a weak ace here as well.

I just don't see the big deal about the superior post flop play in this situation. When the pot is 1500+ and you have 1000 behind, there is no room to manouver.

If I remember correctly you advocated a smaller preflop raise. Why on earth would you do that, when this raise got two callers. You want more people in the pot?
