Preflop: (t75) Hero is BTN with 3 :spade: 3 :diamond:
2 folds, Hero ???

I'm shoving 33 from BTN with 13bb or less (or effective 13bb against a loner, say SB vs BB).
In this situation i have 18bb but i also am against 2 villains, the effective of which is 12bb.
Since i cover them both, it's reasonable to disguise myself as a 12bb stack and just push ahead?
My effective stack logic always had 1 villain, but the situation introduces 2 villains.
I've also checked this by ICM and it seems $EV+ (for reasonable calling ranges). Thoughts?

You have indeed an effective stack of 12bb, because the biggest stack behind you is 12bb. Also, this is a decent spot for a shove with 33. Off course against 2 fishy players it’s always difficult to calculate how much fold equity you will have here.
