I'm definitely going into the tank here but I don't think I'm finding a fold with top pair and a gutshot, BB v SB, but that's just me.

Did you have any info on villain? Likely holdings point to TT, JJ, KK but is he capable of doing this light? Has he made moves like this prior? What was your plan for the flop vs his pre flop aggression?

I do not have any info on the opponent , but usually deep in a tournament (~45 left in the Big 4,40 $) i do not think he is going crazy here , is definitly a tricky spot . Also i would be interested in my pre-flop play , what would you do?

Yeah you put in 1/4 of your stack pre and flop TP with a strong kicker and a gutshot and backdoor NFD, with an SPR of less than 2. You can't call the 3b pre and then fold now, and you really shouldn't be calling off another 1/4 of your remaining chips and then folding.

I would just call pre to disguise my hand, use my position, and keep in all his stealing junk. When you 3b there you risk folding out all that stuff.

This.

Also, pre flop - I actually don't mind your play, but what are your plans when calling his 4bet? If you're unsure and you are struggling with what to do on this board texture given the SPR, then I personally would have just shoved pre flop. You should have a clear plan of action and I don't genuinely think you had any idea where you were or what to do when you called the 4bet pre and even moreso when you called the bet on the flop.

What turns are you hoping for when you call on the flop?

I would have just flatted pre and looked to keep some of his bluffs in whilst also not bloating the pot vs a relative unknown.

Ok, either you think he's not putting in a 4b out of line, in which case you're putting him at the very tip top of his range, and should be folding AQ to the 4b since you're only flipping with JJ and you're dominated otherwise. If you think he's at the very top of his range, then why did you call?

Let's assume you're not putting him at the very top of his range, and add some more hands here, like AJ/ATs bluffs, 99-TT. You call and hit top pair on the flop. What else were you expecting to happen to continue the rest of the way? You wanted to hit a 2% flop? (broadway,2p,trips)

You block QT for a flopped straight which is never showing up here. If you think he has AA/KK you should have folded pre. You definitely shouldn't have bothered putting in 10bigs on the flop hoping to.... hit a gutter?

I think you just made the mistake of clicking buttons here without having a plan. Something to work on correcting.

I like the 3b pre and bvb I dont think I would fold turn, all the hands we don't want to see are blocked by us and the board AK,AJ,AA,KK,JJ.

Call and see some random stuff that levels himself on bvb dynamic
