At the 100 - 150 bb depth, we have some post-flop maneuverability in terms of stabbing certain boards and double barreling certain turns.
In the limited low stakes live MTT experience I have, much of the tournament is played somewhere between 30-45 bbs effective. Because of the short stacked nature (compared to cash) it seems like any 3bet pot, you're playing for stacks, and, similar to low stakes cash, opponents do not like to fold.
At such a depth, are you guys still implementing a light 3bet range or do you like to just have more of a value 3bet range at this depth against opponents that are more on the recreational side?
On the button is the place to be 3 betting light but only against LJ onward opens from someone that opens light and will fold,I wouldnt bother doing it too much from the blinds as they will call knowing they'll have position.
Obviously dont do it against <25BB stacks as a lot will reshove on you and thats 6bbs wasted.
The lower the stacks If you are going to 3 bet light it should be A-hi hands as the SPR will be low on the flop and you will be restricted it what you can do,Like you cant be check raise bluffing when the SPR is 2.
Tourney play is way different to cash and when you go below a certain stack depth you just have to play straight forward and tight,you just dont have the chips to be balancing in bluffy moves
