This hand was played by a student of mine. It's a 700euro step on stars. 5th and 6th place get a step 3 for $215, 3rd and 4th stay at the level for 700, and 1st and 2nd get a $2100 ticket. Hero is btn (fullhouse), and villain has bad stats. He 3bet our previous 3 btn opens, this is the 4th time in a row. I felt like calling is better than jamming with the steps payouts, but jamming may be better in a regular sng. Thoughts? How wide would people flat/shove pre?

I think both way is good. How profitible is this situation depend on the ranges!!!
Bc of structure it would be better to just call, but 5th get only 33% of the buy in.... + it's 4x in row. I would rather rearise all in, but it also depend on how long time a level running is really important. I mean if a level is running more than 10 minute than i just call! You will have time to make much bigger edge on your opponent with a long structure.

Given the info I like the shove. Probably bottom of my range even with the aggressiveness villain has shown. I'd probably flat AT-AJ, KQ shove 99+ AQ+ and fold everything else I guess... Tbh I don't even know if I would flat anything in this spot since I don't like flatting such a large chunk of my stack but that's just me personally...
