I don't want this to be BBV, twice today I encountered this scenerio, here and in a 27man FT , both times in the BB.

I have no reason to beleive that this is nothing short of a high pocket pair, that's what villian has shown in the hands that i have observed. He tends to overbet his big hands.

I'm not whining, even if Villian is doing this with 44, and or more than that, should I consider folding because we are at the FT?

What is our optimal line in this spot?


Thank you in advance for your advice.

probably just shoving, 44 should then fold, don't be result orientated

i would just shove i think randoms do this with random hands sometimes just for no reason, its a 1.50 buy in so the guy might just raise to 6400 because its his favourite number. you have a non-zero amount of fold equity which is important and he definitely does this with random stuff and calls it off such as aq aj at or even worse, and probably more often than he does it with QQ+ in general.

edit: forgot its an icm spot, its a bit closer then. i would NEVER flat, you are putting in way too much oop pre if you flat and if his range is so tight/has such a huge % of KK+ in his range then you should just fold pre as when you do hit Kxx or Axx on the flop you have serious reverse implied odds (which is important if/when you think his range is super strong)
