I really believe I could shove here trying to isolate.
You guys think I'm ahead of the opponents range ?
Had no stats on anybody

888 No-Limit Hold'em Tournament, 200/400 Blinds (5 handed) - 888 Converter Tool from http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.php

BB (t5,815)
UTG (t718)
MP (t5,312)
Button (t840)
Hero (SB) (t2,315)

Hero's M: 3.86

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q♣, J♣
2 folds, Button raises t800, 1 fold, BB calls t400

Flop: (t1,800) 6♣, K♥, 10:diamond: (2 players)

Turn: (t1,800) 10:spade: (2 players)

River: (t1,800) 8♠ (2 players)

Total pot: t1,800

Spoiler

Button had J♦, K♠ (two pair, Kings and tens).
BB had 4♦, 7♣ (one pair, tens).
Outcome: Button won t2

The button will shove extreme wide with his 2bb left. So QJs will be +EV to isolate the button with.
The only problem would be if the BB would call to wide on you if you shove here.

What do you think about flatting here and trying to bust him out with the help of the BB ?

That’s indeed a possibility, but then you have already more than 1/3 of your stack in the middle and if the BB shoves on you should fold everything there. So that’s not an ideal situation. Especially if the BB knows this and then he could shove very wide there.

makes sense, sometimes I make this flat, but not for that big amount of chips
