husng calling philosophy question...

Ok, I come from a cash background so I think I make a lot of choices in sngs that are possibly way wrong base on my assumptions on how equity works.  For example, in this hand the villain is tight/passive and probably has a decent hand when he 3bets me pre.  Is it ok to shove here with 35%ish equity based on the fact that he's covered by so much?  What equity do you really want in a spot like this when you know you have no FE?  I'm guessing that it doesn't need to be better than 50%, but that could just be a misconception that I need to clear up before it loses me too much money.No Limit Holdem Tournament • 2 Players Hand converted by the official HUSNG.com hand converter BBPlayer3880 BTNHero2120  Effective Stacks: 22bb Blinds 20/40 Pre-Flop (60, 2 players) Hero is BTN  Hero raises to 100, Player3 raises to 320, Hero goes all-in 2120, Player3 calls 560Flop (3000, 2 players, 1 all-in)    Turn (3000, 2 players, 1 all-in)    River (3000, 2 players, 1 all-in) Final Pot: 3000

?

Seems a little aggressive preflop.  You might want to start open raising smaller when stacks get lopsided.   Edit: never mind...hard to follow hand with the way hit was set up by the hand converter.

Not a ton of background to go

Not a ton of background to go on, but against a tight/passive player it's worth considering whether you can find a better spot.  The shift in the dynamic by doubling him up to ~1000 is very significant and if your opponent is truly passive, you're probably better continuing to steal pots and chip him away.  A lot of tight/passive players don't change gears when they get low and you'll be able to steal a ton of pots from them.  Maybe some people like to flip here as a 40/60 dog, but I think you're better off being patient if he's showing resistance and has been passive in the earlier part of the match.Also, his raise here is a little unusual.  Usually you'll see people reshove weaker hands here, but this raise seems a little suspicious since it's not an all in.  It could be posturing if your opponent is very sophisticated, but if not it seems like another thumb on the scale that makes a fold here a better play.  No need to flip here IMO (and you're probably behind, maybe significantly).

In my experience the small

In my experience the small raise is usually a monster that wants action because I would be shoving A rag and low pp's in for the increases FE. Also K10 in most certiantly behind his range and the 100 chips you already put in dont make up for that.

in this hand the villain is

in this hand the villain is tight/passive and probably has a decent hand when he 3bets me preyou answered your own question. what can you see him raising you with here out of position that your hand beats? not many. at these stack sizes calling is prety bad, but i think shoving is worse.
