The hand below took place early on during a 9-man $1 STT on FTP (Hand 21) and I had gained the following information leading up to it:
The table dynamic is quite tight preflop with an average of 3 players seeing the flop. Most hands however are going to showdown as you would expect at this stake and this early in proceedings.
The villain is playing noticeably loose-aggressive and has assumed the role of table captain after eliminating an opponent within the first orbit.
BB is showing signs of being a maniac having lost a bunch of chips very early to a seemingly tight early position raiser, barreling all streets out of position after flopping a low pair.
My table image is perhaps a little too tight compared to the rest of the field. Up to this point I had won 3 pots, all at showdown with AKo, QQ and A8s which was blind vs blind. In addition to this I had shown that I was playing a patient small ball type game.

Given the all of this information was the villain correct to call my 3bet shove or can a case be made towards folding?
