Without explicite fishreads I just push this preflop. With the shortys he should call you very seldom.
As played I'd fold the river.
When I played the hand I thought that the guys with 2.5 blinds were already finished cause they didnt push that often, so I called on the idea of finishing on first place by leaving the villain with 3 blinds or less, meaning I would get great chances of winning the SnG. Is this a correct way of thinking?
Hello,
I am also folding it on turn, you don't get correct odds to Call and also it's paired board.
Best regards,

Thinking about it again I agree that we probably should fold the turn as we do not know about the implieds and as there a big reverse implieds.
And to your thoughts, Sbask:
I'd rather say your line isn't a line for winning but for getting itm. You do not want to play a big pot as it is very likely that you'll be itm soon without risking anything. However, you have more chips than SB and he probably has the same thoughts. That's why he will fold very often when you push preflop.
And this really is a line for winning as you will get some distance betwenn you and the 2nd chipleader.
