Poker Stars, $1.32 Buy-in (80/160 blinds, 20 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 3 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 2,474 (15.5 bb)
Hero (BB): 5,064 (31.7 bb)
BTN: 5,962 (37.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K♣: Q♣:
BTN calls 160, SB raises to 2,454 and is all-in, Hero raises to 5,044 and is all-in, BTN folds

SB is a regular player, I see him often at the tables, stats 30/18/550
BTN is limping a lot ( 48/0/55 hands) so not worried about him, but I`m not sure about my call, since Im behind any Ax hand. Best case scenario I`m crushing Kx or Qx hands but mostly Im just flipping.
So my guess is that this hands is better to go allin rather than call an allin.

I dont think you can just ignore the BTN, he's never raising so that also means he's limping his stong hands as well as his average to weak hands
In ICMizer if I put BTN limping range as 48%, it says SB shoves 35% 22+,A2+,K4s+,K9o+,Q8s+,QTo+,J7s+,JTo,T7s+,T9o,97s+,87s,76s and you shove (11.5%) 55+,A8s+,A9o+,KJs+ KQs is +0.33%

But I'm not sure the SB is shoving that wide, if I halve that to 17% 33+,A2s+,A7o+,KTs+,KQo, then you can only shove (7.2%) 77+,AJ+ and KQs is a clear fold -0.74%

Looks like a tight fold is best here

If you know that SB is a reg and if u think he goes all in only : Ax and pairs then you should fold easy in this spot.

For a regular he has a decent gap between VPIP and PFR and I expect he isn’t a good regular.
Also, he would most likely complete with most of his weaker hands and I would most likely still fold against his range. Also, you will have a decent edge against both players and then it’s easier to play hands in position and winning a lot of chips then taking a variance spot like this.
