Hey, thanks for the reply
He 3b range *might* be very tight/only value, and it *might* be very wide/have bluffs/merged...can never know which, and in the moment I decided to take the risk.
I want to ask, what would be your ranges for:
1. opening here
2. 4b GII after villain's 3b?

I honestly like shipping more than flatting, but folding seems to be the best option at this stack depth. He can be light, but this close to a bubble of that size with our stack size we're sort of handcuffed.
Fold > Jam > Call imo.
Yeah, I think flatting is pretty iffy and like that option the least.
The field was...500? runners. I play this tournament weekly, and the bubble really does last forever from this point down to the mincash--it can take *forever* for people to bust as everyone sub 25bb religiously tries to mincash. I say this partially to elucidate that 10 away from a mincash in this tourney can very well be a 30-50 minute affair, and I get really uncomfortable at the idea of resigning myself to never chipping up during this period. 1 or 2 away from the mincash, yeah, I'm pretty rock solid.
Multiple times, I've found myself with a big stack at this point of the tournament and have taken advantage of this, vacuuming up chips multiple times per orbit. Beyond anything I should be allowed to get away with, beyond any amount of time I should be allowed to get away with it. Not that I'm saying this to justify my action here--just providing context.
