Villain has more than 70k in profits this year, is super good obv etc.
I guess this is just the tournament of confusing spots. I c/ced turn intending to check/call every river because his turn sizing doesn't make sense with a value hand. Anyone like a river lead more?

Please don't say flat call PF. This is BB vs BTN. Would have probably folded to 4BAI pf but maybe not depending on timing. I think it's a definite cooler if he shoves though.

bet flop

You can't make too much of that sort of thing unless you know the person you're playing knows this sort of thing. 70k profit really isn't a reliable indicator of post flop competency, imo, since tournaments are mostly about short stack play. Honestly, in this spot I think c/f and c/c are both ok. Leading is kinda interesting, since villain may well pay off too wide and bluff too infrequently on the river. It's kinda scary, though, so I imagine a decent reg would fold most of their bluff catchers. Personally I'd c/c or c/f depending on soul reads.

I probably make it like 650 or so pre and lead out about 875.

i prolly make it less pre, like 440 or just flatcall
dont really like the big 3bet unless you snapcall a shove which is kinda gross this deep vs a good villain

postflop is standard after checking the flop (i'd cbet)
c/f river or c/c a stupid little bet

Good advice Page. I run into a lot of bluffdb players who have like 80k profit then later they do some terrible play, I click their name, and it has "80k largest cash, 44k total profits."
