Hey,

I guess it's standard to shove here? I only have 27 hands recorded on this opponent so not really helpful...

These kinds of spots are super V dependent and because hes at reshove stacksize if hes light I think hes shoving to maximise his fold equity so when he 3bs this stack it looks really bladed to me.. proly somthing like TT+,AQ+

Readless I would fold.. I think we need to have some sort of laggy/light 3b read on the guy before we can justify 4b shove.

On a side note dont include results as they can influence the post quality in your threads, I havn't seen them myself but others might

AJs would be the top of my folding range here, for reasons wow mentioned.

It's probably pretty close either way.

Depends a lot. Not only the OR, but also how are the blinds are playing and you obv. 27 hands is not a lot, but in 6-max its something. I don't think I can force myself to fold here in vacuum. Villains sizing is a bit scary, though.

Usually when reshove stack 3b non all in he got the goodie goodies so mainly cause of his sizing im folding this.

Absolutely readless, online, in a $3 bi, I get it in here even though the sizing makes it look like value. It's just too likely that he just doesn't have much concept of sizing, or thinks A9s/AT/77-99 are the nuts in this spot, or some other random thing, that AJs is too strong to fold with 24bb.

Also, what stage of the tournament is this? Are there ICM considerations. If this is the final table, or on the bubble, than I'd find a fold with the 11bb stack in there, and the fact that villain with our same stack is probably playing tighter

Also, if it was live and villain was above 50 years old, I fold

Yeah what wow said.

In higher stakes buyin tournies reg's will make these types of 3-bet's light because of how strong it looks, but it doesn't happen much in small stakes tournies.
