Alright I'm in BB and got AKs, villain 3 bet on button again and I push, villain shows KK and kick me out of the tournament.
What am I suppose to do in this situation?
Defend your blind looser- that requires additional postflop skills and start re-stealing a wider range vs him.
But, you have to be picky in these spots though as a lot of fish will flat your 3bets pre IP and then you end up playing big pot OOP with a marginal hand (say you add some bluff 3bet range to your arsenal) vs a guy that doesn't like to fold. Same applies during the mid/late blind levels when you make your re-steals by going all in. Say with eff. stack sizes of 15-20bb. Fish tends to raise/call very lite, so you gotta be careful and shove your value range vs him.
I don't want to sound too complicated though + fish is usually passive. So your general approach will be to defend your blind looser. If you are not a very experienced player postflop, don't get involved in marginal situations with marginal hands though as surviving during the low blind levels is your first priority in 1-table SnG. Later on, with your tight image, you will be able to exploit your opponents during the push/fold stage when stealing the blinds becomes much more important.
Cheers.
