This was a 6 max SnG  that I was doing well in throughout, very much in control a lot of the time until 3 handed play, with the following stack arrangements:

Hero: 5000

V1: 2050

V2: 1950

Blinds at 60/120 no ante

I had a good aggressive image at this point, and of course I need to continue the aggression.  But as I did, long story short the villains played back at me pretty well, hole cards and flops ran nasty, and I lost momentum. Both villains are pretty competant and aggressive, willing to open or raise a lot of pots, capable of laying down 2nd best hands and such.

Before 3 handed play, my usual open was to min raise. 

Now at 3 handed play, I considered open/shove mode but decided not yet.  I opted to get their stacks a bit smaller before doing that. Was this wrong?

As I continued the min raising (though sometimes I did shove), they both started reshoving on me and/or calling and playing aggressively post flop.  I tried to adapt and switch things up but maybe I shouldn’t have been allowing for this post flop play in the first place.  Should I generally be open shoving my range with the above stacks because of their strong reshove stacks?  Especially considering that I am suddenly not being dealt many aces, kings or pocket pairs?
