It's a €6 turbo MTT, we played no more than 15 hands.
I (maomaoleader) am in BigBlind dealt ATo, BU (no read on him) raise 3BB (i guess it is a steal) and SB call the raise. About player in SB I know he called a 3BB openraise from UTG with A4s and called the continuation bet hitting two suited cards at the flop. I decided to squeeze here pushing allin.

Calling is bad, as we would be in a sandwich position after the flop. So it is raise or fold time. But if you decide to raise, you are comitted to the hand anyway. So a push is not a bad thing, giving your reads on the situation.
i think all in wit AT os if blinds so low.. not so good..and total unnecessary to push with that hand..
3bb calling with A4suited..standard in low limit mtt.. cbet calling with nut fd.. do u think it was wrong? his cold call means anything.. figured,pockett pair.. AQ,AJ,AK (he didnt raised with that cos he was bad position..) so i think all in with AT in that situation 80% suicide ..

no I don't think he did wrong with his A4s ... but I think he is not strictly a tight player because of this: and with this info I think he could also call the blindsteal with an Ace weaker than mine

They are a bit better than you in terms of stack so, if your goal was to steal the raise, i think you did fine. AT isnt a very secure hand to go all-iin but, taking in consideration the type of tourney you are at, i guess the best way to play it is being a little loose aggressive. I think you did fine, even if you got a call and lost, because you were in a risky position comparing with your oponents and you were the one who had to move to get more chips. But, if 6€ is more than 25% of your monthly poker wage, i think you should go for other type of tourneys!

ty for your input Fakiry. Yes my target here is to get out of my underaverage stack in short time: I want to build my stack to have the possibility to play decent postflop poker. So I wanted to steal the limper the original raiser and the caller.

LMFAO What part of my post made you think this? Anyway answer is no. 6€ is far less than 25%
