blind defense and chip leader vs small stack (lhe)

[garamond10pt 0]

Final table of a small HORSE tournament. The table's been pretty tight/passive, so I'd been running players over once HE started.Couldn't get converter to work, so did it by hand.Chip stacks:Seat 1: Marcstar (5,578)Seat 2: garamond10pt (8,421)Seat 3: spicole (1,305)Seat 5: rimmer27 (3,702)Seat 6: JackStar (1,642)Seat 7: phillipshead (3,682)Seat 8: maniacinsocal (2,670)Blinds are 300/600Hero is SB with K J CO raises*** FLOP *** (T2700, CO has T1470) 7 k 3 :spade:hero checks, CO bets, hero calls*** TURN *** (T3300, CO has T1170) 8 hero bets, CO calls*** RIVER *** (T4500, CO has T570) 5 Hero bets, CO callsFinal pot: T5740I thought about check raising the flop, then decided to flat call. When the turn came around, I realized CO only had two BB's left and since I was calling down anyway, I should put those bets in myself, since my opp might check if he's behind. So I guess the questions are with the pre-flop 3-bet and the post-flop play. Though I didn't really think about it at the time, I like the stop and go so as not to scare away a weaker hand.

Your play seems reasonable against a short stack. Normally, a cap pre-flop would indicate that your hand is possibly dominated even though you have TPGK.But in this case with CO being so low, putting him all-in is a good play as he might not have a K.
