14 people left out of like 500 Carbon $10 5k GTD.
Should I bet 3x or so here instead of just jamming? Villain was very aggressive and was getting check-raised a lot by people around the table and constantly folding, if that matters.

Merge, $10 Buy-in (2,500/5,000 blinds, 500 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #34375331

Hero (SB): 143,669 (28.7 bb)
BB: 284,858 (57 bb)
MP: 49,423 (9.9 bb)
CO: 65,164 (13 bb)
BTN: 196,340 (39.3 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8

3 folds, Hero raises to 143,169 and is all-in, BB calls 138,169

Flop: (288,838) 9

(2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: (288,838) Q

(2 players, 1 is all-in)

just r/c man (and your standard SB open sizing! none of this 3x rubbish if you haven't been 3x'ing previously). You narrow his range to continue so much by open shoving. Let these types of players spaz.

The actual hand is a cooler.

R/c vs aggro villain and as Dragons said, use the same sizing what you have previously used.

When you jam there this deep you allow him to play pretty good against you, allowing him to call all his value hands and fold his trash.

This would be fine 0 < BB < 15 but his deep I just r/c pre.

Not bvb imo. 2.5x, snap of the 3bet jam, or 4bet gii. I am firmly in the cooler camp!

Way too deep to open rip. You're getting called perfectly and folding out anything he would 3bet you light with.

Seems like 2.5xing then 4betting all-in when he 3bets would be standard line here. Just a cooler in this exact spot.
