Really troubling hand 6.50 Stars 45 man SNG;

[zachaser]

Hey guys, this hand was on the bubble of a 45 man SNG. I was third in chips, and two short stacks were about to be blinded out. Tell me what you think about this:

-----Hand 18-----
Heros M = 3.98
PokerStars Game #9898148549: Tournament #50219425, $3.00+$0.25 Holdem No Limit - Level XIII (1000/2000) - 2007/05/13 - 20:30:29 (ET)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [7c 5d]
KebiJones: folds
ELCAZADOR67: folds
BEMYGUEST69: folds
Hero: raises 11825 to 13825 and is all-in <--- At this point, shortie will be blinded out in two hands, and the guy after him will be pretty much out. I thought this was just a routine pickup, as equal stack would need a monster to call with. I would never make this play in this situation blinds were lower, but considering stack sizes, I thought villain would fold almost anything.
ladyluck4all: calls 10530 and is all-in
*** FLOP *** [9c 4h 6d]
*** TURN *** [9c 4h 6d] [6h]
*** RIVER *** [9c 4h 6d 6h] [Js]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Hero: shows [7c 5d] (a pair of Sixes)
ladyluck4all: shows [4d As] (two pair, Sixes and Fours) <--- I thought villain's call was retarded, since if he folded he was still guaranteed ITM, and if he lost he was all but done. Thoughts?
Looking back, I thought it was a mistake for me to push, but more of a mistake for villain to call. Any comments appreciated, as this hand really upset me.

That's a really bad push IMO.

His call? Pretty bad too but (and I'm sure this is what he was thinking) at least he had an ace.

I think you will find that assuming your opponent will play correctly in a given situation will lead to trouble more often than not, especially at the $6 level.

How is this the bubble? Don't the 45-player SnG's pay 7 players? I'd think you'd be in the money already with just 5 players left...and if so then his call is standard...

If we're ITM, I'm shoving any two here, stack size is perfect. Opps call is fine too, just unlucky he had a top 30%ish hand

meant to say 18 person tournament, so it is bubble
