Hi guys

V is 23/14 in 200 hands ; 3bets from CO 11%

So what´s Hero´s plan here? I feel awkward with stack size....if we call then SPR is around 3 so if we hit our Q or ace we just GII (like with a c/r all in)?

Fold should be a decent adjustment to what the field is doing. Flat shouldn't be too terrible. 4-bet looks wrong for a $2 tourney.

When we flat and hit TPTK we should usually not c-r but go into bluffcatch mode imo.

I think that flatting is a good option according to his stats, though if he folds to 4bet a lot - that is an option too, as AQ is a good blocker for his value hands (QQ/AA/AK) which he will 5bet shove.
If we don't want to 4bet bluff (as it is a bluff with this hand with this stack-size) we should definitely call, as most of the population in this low buy-ins would make mistakes postflop that we can take advantage on.
Furthermore, if we call and hit TPTK - I believe the best option is to X/C and not X/R get it in with this stack-size since he can have all the overpairs so you want to let him bluff as well (especially since he's 3bet percentage is high so it contains a lot of bluffs)
