Was he that terrified of an ace, or of me hitting a set or something? With his 3bet I probably fold JJ, get it in with QQ+, and probably fold AK and maybe talk myself into flatting whereupon I'm pretty safe vs. his range if I hit (assuming he doesn't have AA we rarely get it in bad when we hit because we rarely hit a K when he has KK). Basically he made a play that would only work with one hand in his range, which was dependent on me having the one hand I couldn't fold that he beats, and all I can do is bemoan the fact that this hand happened now and not 15 minutes later when I'd have been a few K richer... Sigh.
I think you have answered your own question really. Like I still think the ship is fine but this is a massive donkament who's $55 cost belies a structure that gets rubbish before it gets better and attracts the same standard of donk as lower buyin mtt's because the payouts look decent at the FT and it's the largest guarantee in it's class.
I think the ship is fine but I suggested that discounting the top of someones range may be a mistake because a player on the verge of their biggest payday want not to get sucked out on or outplayed
