so i thought i'd heard villain in this hand been called a nit before, but it may have been sarcasm as he's been pretty active early.

no previous history, but on the first hand of this tournament:
250bb deep i open CO, he 3bet BB, i call. flop bet/call on A93tt. turn he c/f.
he probably views me on the looser side at this point, though i think this is only the 6th hand.

i mean it's pretty gay if he 3bets flop this deep but i would've thought he'd raise the cbet with sets on that board, agree?

i like your line a lot. turn sizing is very very pretty.

just hope he didnt have 23dd or 76dd.

(Also I think if villain 3b the flop that you might just have to get it in given the nature of the board. you are behind 3 combos of 88, 1 of JJ and 1 of AA and I guess if he has 88 or JJ you have rebink outs).
