6 handed SNG (I love these btw) now 4 handed, I'm chip leader with about 4k, villian #1 has about 3k #2 about 1k.
Wish I had the hand history because the math may not add up right but this is as close as I can remember it.
The table has taken a strange everybody calls and nobody raises preflop anymore. I've played my big hands very fast, and knocked out both players so far when this hand happens.
Blinds are 30/60
I'm in the SB with J  10 I decide enough of this family pot stuff as both players called, I pop it to 200, BB (Villain 1) and #2 both call.
Flop is K,Q,J rainbow. Bottom pair and straight draw compell me to follow through (semi bluff) and bet the pot ~600. #1 smooth calls, #2 goes all in for another 200 which we both call.
Turn is a J.
I check since there is no side pot and #1 bets 1800, has 1200 back.

I think this is time for that highly advanced expert strategy known as "push and pray"

I agree, if you win, the tourny is basically over. If he has A10 so be it. I can't see him having KJ or QJ or KK or QQ, he'd prolly make a smaller bet or raise preflop with KK or QQ. AJ is the worst hand for you, but even that still gives a decent amount of outs. 3 K's 3 Q's 3 10's and 4 9's. I think you have a good chance of being ahead here, and even if you're not you still have a decent chance of at least splitting. I say gamble and try to win the tourney right here.

In the end I decided to put him on the K, AK actually was what I decided to give him. I decided that AK wasn't a threat to my hand since he needed my 10 to get his straight, giving me a boat, otherwise he had 2 outs if I was indeed ahead. I figured I could get him to put the rest in on the river if I just called. He was very aggresive with top pair.
The river interestingly enough was a 9, giving me the bottom end of the straight, I checked, he put the rest in and I called.
He turned over K,2, all in had A,6 and was drawing dead on the turn.
Funny thing to me was if I hadn't raised preflop, I wouldn't have followed up on the flop and caught up and taken out two players. Dumb move at the right time I guess.
