New to tournies is this play decent?

[thizzSantaCruz]

I am not much of a tournament player, I have a cash game background with mediocre success. I entered in a 180 man SNG the other day and this hand came up when it was 3 handed. The button had been pretty loose throughout the whole tournament and was raising liberally from the button once it got down to 3 handed. Every pot he has raised I have seen him follow up with a continuation bet. Thoughts on preflop and flop?

Preflop: Hero is BB with T, K. SB posts a blind of 1200.
Button raises, 1 fold, Hero calls.

Flop: 5, 2, 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets, Hero raises 44610 (All-In),

Converter is mildly retarded. Blinds are 1200 and 2400 with a 300 ante. PF raise is to 7200. Pot on the flop is 18900. Villain bets 12000 on the flop and I shove for 44610. 32610 for Villain to call.

I like this play a lot. If you play more, you'll see that the more common approach would be to simply re-pop pre here. The fact that you are deepstacked here and have a plan of attack versus a known c-bettor makes this play juicy.

Ideally you would be a little deeper stacked and have a semi-tight image as well.

Villain has 2:1 odds so he needs to be pretty sure he is ahead or has at least 8 outs for him to call here. (If you were any shorter stacked, I think the better play was to raise/push pre).

I like it.

Shoving pre or re raise pre/shove flop may be better, trying to figure out stack sizes is making my head hurt. I would just post it uncoverted.
