villan w/ about 10% 3bet in considerable volume.

Is miniraising/folding here any good considering the spot?

Min raise call 3bet would be ok chips are still going in on that board tho .I don't like min raise folding here at all AQs 5handed is very strong hand getting in it pre is fine aswell . Just take it for what it is a cooler

hmm, I thought about that, but I was away ahead of his range obv... knowing that should I still just flat his 3bet considering that there are 10p left?

EDIT: When I said "miniraising/folding" I meant mini4betting/fold, sorry for not being clear

EDIT2: I know it's a cooler, but I would like to know if any regs in mtts would do something different.

Because of icm I would slightly lean towards minraise calling 3bet ye but you played it fine either way you were destined to FT bubble ,,,,ps oh right just seen your edit hmm no I don't like folding once we 4bet at all at this point we would of invested way to many chips IMO

I would have just flatted the 3b. The more important stats would be what his 3b from the SB is?

Making a 4b for half your stack is prolly the worst thing you could do because it looks strong and you can't fold to a shove. Shoving looks weaker and would be better than doing that.

That was my intention because I didn't want a race (88 and 99[?] TT, JJ [idk if he would fold that]) at that stage of the tournament.. But yeah, I guess flatting would be the best. With what range would you 4bet?

Played it fine, his jamming range is tight, but you got AQs....so wtf, run good, cause you can't always be ahead pre.

my default line is to flat pre here, I think 4b ripping could be sexy.. tho never 4b and leaving chips behind.

I love variance so I'm shoving over his 3b. Lets crack some black cowboys baby!

he is 10% over considerable sample; but he is probably much wider considering we are 5 handed vs a full table and he has a great stack to put a lot of pressure on everyone. So shove seems pretty standard to me. If you can't stand the variance or if he will barrel a lot when you hit the flop and you can "walk the dog" then I can see calling as well. But it depends also on the pay structure and how topheavy it is/the jumps are etc. Calling doesn't seem great b/c most of the time you are just folding to his c-bet 2/3 times and building/preserving our chipstack is veryimportant we don't want to bleed chips at this stage of the tournament.

Also didn't look at it yet but you shouldn't post results right away even that he called or shoved is too much info and can create less quality biased feedback.

If you're so intent on gii then shove over the 3b otherwise call. I'd probably just do that.

185/c or flat dont mind either one
