Hi Guys, help appreciated.

Whats our optimal line here? 3bet GII pre or flat? Im guessing we are never folding to the Late position 3bet jam?

Stats at the time (VPIP/PFR/Aggression Factor/3B)
Opener [Lojack] 29/23/3/12 over 55 hands (seemed relatively active)
Me [Hijack] 21/15/2/7
Squeezer [BB] 23/12/2/6.7 over 35 hands, 3bet 1/15.

Pacific, $4.50 Buy-in (4,000/8,000 blinds, 1,000 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 7 Players

Hero (MP3): 231,088 (28.9 bb)
CO: 514,311 (64.3 bb)

It's a tricky spot. I think 3b / c is prob best line - once we flat it's actually not an easy call I'm sure it's +cEV but pretty tight $EV - depends on V's squeezing range here. Would be a good one to put into ICMizer.

I think this is a fairly clear call pre. I'd 3b call in later positions, but i don't think you get him to shove many worse pairs when you 3 bet him this early in the order. Could also be a 3 bet if you and the villain have a psychotic aggressive dynamic.

Call advantages include inducing squeezes, playing IP postflop, and keeping the pot smaller and still having maneuverability with 23-27 BBs if you see an ugly runout and put in one or zero bets before folding.

It’s all pretty even stacks, so it’s not like there’s heavy icm tax. I like call pre, but probably something like 70/30 where 30% i 3bet (5x ish). As played have to call either blind. If mp2 comes back over the top, you probably have to fold

Awkward stack sizes but I don't think shoving pre is ever bad. You might lose value but taking down a decent pot without showdown isn't a bad outcome here and calling can lead to some difficult situations.

As played I would make the call. I think you'll see AK and even lower pairs a lot from the BB here.
