Pot the flop, aside from that its fine

I might not raise this hand preflop. It's not a bad hand, but it's not that great. In a tournament it might be better to play it safe and limp.

I kind of feel the same about the flop. This looks like a great flop for your hand, but the problem is that you have no made hand at all, so you won't be a significant favorite against any of villian's range (unless villian has something like 9TJ2). True, your draw is pretty big, you're like 40% against a set and a coinflip against 2-pair, but still I think a call is better because you are almost never a favorite when your raise is called. If you could push BB off his hand by raising, a raise would be good, but this is pretty unlikely at a $2 tournament. So just call the flop.

pot flop, jam turn all day, double up a lot from sets

You have to raise fully that turn - you have the nuts and need to either get full value, or make him fold. It's the best option IMO. Stack sizes mean you're committing...

I would just limp pre.

That said I like your line the rest of the way. You hit a great flop with a 13 card nut wrap as well as backdoor str8 and flush opps. I like the less than pot raise here. We don't mind a 3rd player coming along, as your draw is equal to if not better than anyone else's. And you lay them bad odds to call, so we punish them with a callable raise.

Once it's HU on the turn, full pot that noise. There are situations that I'll flat the guy here if I think he's weak and will overbet a brick river misreading my hand....but at a 2 buck SnG, get those chips in the pot.

Absolutely open raise with that hand. And raise a little more on the turn
