I saw him limp, call with 88 previously at the final table

Do we like flatting here since its too risky for a 3bet shove?

Do we like calling the Cbet with ace high which is probably good as well as backdoor straight and flush draws?

Std spot for me. When he double barrels in that kind of board he probably have something. I don´t see him beting with air in a board that hits the BB calling range.

Against many players i just shove this pre but not vs this guy his stats looks like he isnt going to be opening/ stealing enogth from the button. so yeah i just flat.

I know shoving this would be a little risky but were going for top 3 spots and there are no micro stakes at table were all fairly flat stacked. your running 4/6 and there are no stacks present that an all in and lose wont cripple you. You will sometimes be dominated when called but you have a good sized stack for shove and you should be against a pretty wide range him being marginal chip leader on button. you have an ace blocker to those hands that dominate you.

But anyway thats all if we are readless or reads he is stealing a fair amount pre but I dont think you can do this vs him.

As played defo fold turn.
I may just fold on flop depending on his post flop aggression as even if we do have the best hand sometimes on the flop we are not going to realise any showdown equity our hand has. This balanced with the fact that I think his butt open range is probably tighter then most i really dont mind folding to c bet even if he has 100% c bet stat. ( which wouldnt be bad as only 6% pfr) if we think he is going to check turn a lot with hands like kq kj etc then yeah check flop folding turn is good.

At this depth with these high icm considerations i dont think we should consider our back doors as to important.

I Still shove this pre.
His pfr on the BTN mind be way wider or maybe he gathered some chips in previous hands and starts opening more..

I would rarely flat this pre <20bb deep.

Now we have to call 15% of our stack on the flop with what is likely to be the best hand and with backdoors/overs... usually fine imo, but not at this stack depth

It would be useful to know what the 6% PFR was - it isn't necessarily the 6% of strongest hands - these kinds of players often limp big pairs to "trap". If it is the strongest 6% then we can just fold this because we are crushed out of position with a 3-outer where we don't know what the 3 outs are. Is this player even positionally aware? As played I might make a nitty fold on the flop or otherwise definitely on the turn.

I agree without reads it's a standard jam preflop.
