$50 NL HE MTT: icm spot

10 players left, 8 places paid, GG flat structure

vilain raises 2bb (64bb stack) co folds (84bb) Bu 16bb, sb 11bb, hero 14bb ??? how should I play, I have and decided to call.

Flop 9c7d2s (5,2bb)
hero? villain bet 2bb, hero? 12bb remaining stack

How wide should I defend blind, how to play post flop?

Second table
Hj 23bb, co 100bb, bu 17bb, sb 8bb, bb 22bb

Preflop
With 14BB I prefer to rejam rather than just call and play a pot out of position against someone with a much deeper stack. He is likely opening wide, so you have good fold equity and decent equity when called.

Flop
You flopped a BDFD and two overs, so in theory you are probably supposed to continue. But the issue is your stack size. If you call now, there is only around a pot sized bet left. So he can easily jam on you, and you cant really give that action, unless the turn is a K or Q specifically. So as played I prefer to fold now and still have 12BB left.

14bb I'm either shoving preflop or folding. The worst thing is ending up in the spot you're currently in post flop which happens a majority of the time because hitting anything on the flop is hard. All you did by calling preflop was waste chips the majority of the time and put yourself in a terrible spot majority of the time. The problem is even with A high he's likely calling any bet or even an all-in and he has you beat with A high.

What position are you in with 14bb? What's villain VPIP? Any other reads?........If he's tight easy fold preflop. If he has a VPIP of 30+ I'm likely all-in preflop.

EDIT: Everything fundiver says basically. He beat me too it by mere seconds.

Cheers!!!

Table dynamics matter here V opens with a big stack behind and shove stacks. How does the V play? How active is the big stack? How active the shorties? How active is the other table?
We can cash some MTT when we just let other players collide. Is this that spot?
If so calling is a viable action if the opener is tighter in range and calling off frequently. KQs is a better call than KQo would be so You can jam o and call s if you trust your post flop skills.
