I agree

The only other plausible move to me, is a re-raise to 1400-1600, fold to an all in.. Bet 1000-1200 no matter what hits the flop.. Give it up if there's players.

I think All-in or Call are your worst two options.

I either like you're #2 line here or fold.

I reasoned that there was a pretty big chance that MP was making a play at the pot, and would fold if I raised back big. I felt my options were to give up or raise, as I didn't want to take a flop out of position. Since raising would commit me to the pot I also felt that I had to raise all-in if I wanted to play.

So, I shoved in all my chips, and MP folded according to plan. Unfortunatley SB had pocket AA.

I never even considered SB as a threat, which was clearly a mistake.

without any reads I call and see a flop and go from there. If you don't trust your post flop play then reraise here to 1800-2100 to hopefully isolate angainst the OR if he pushes, but allows you to fold if the SB goes all in. The SB flat calling worries me a bit.

Well, it seems there is no clear cut way to play the hand. Or at least, there is disagreement on how to play it. In any case I think that this is an example of the type of hands that are the most important to play well in tournaments. Unfortunately I still don't know how I should play it if the situation repeated itself.
