BB is massive fish, has called 14bb shove with 87off from EP vs UTG.
I dont know what to think when he is cold-calling this shove. I would reshove all day if is under 30bbs or so, but he is quite deep.
flatting is also little weird i guess vs this opponent. so..
what u guys think?

$10-1 Bovada 7.5K Gaurantee. We are about a 100 away from the money.
Blinds are 100/200 I have 51bb and am UTG+2 at a full table of 9 players.
UTG+1 has 35bb and raised 3x to 600. I haven't been on the table terribly long but he doesn't seem to be a loose type of player so I believe he has some kind of decent hand here. Something like 88+ Ajo to Ak suited possibly A/10 suited. Of course the big pairs are in this range as well. So i am confident of being ahead of a large part of his range here.
Hero is UTG+2 with QQ reraised to 1400. In hind sight im thinking this is on the small size.
Everyone folds around to the button who has 129bb.
Button raises to 4075. He has been active but I don't recall seeing a hand that would be out of line and in my limited time at the table i hadn't seen a 3 bet let alone a 4 bet.
UTG+1 calls leaving 3075 behind.
Hero?
I'm not much of an MTT player but have been playing more lately and was wondering if the following series of hands was too much of a spew or if I should have played them differently? Hand #2 was played right after hand #1. I was thinking under 20BB these hands are good enough to shove and hope to take down the blinds.
So I'm a noob at tourneys but won a spot in a 1675 WSOP-C ME. v in the hand is a experienced live pro (in November nine). Dunno if he has online experience. He has been playing tight but noticeably more active when folded to him in LP. Prob views Hero as a nit though saw hero pull a bad bluff earlier where hero had to fold on the turn for a 1500 into 15k pot...so may think as nitty bad.
200/400/50
Hero: 12500
V:30000ish
Hero folds AJo
Folds to V in CO who opens to 1000 (standard for him), folds to hero in SB who raises to 2200, BB folds, V raises to 3800, Hero ???

1st just fold, there are many shorties coming after you and they will call very wide and every Ax , Kx beats you. i would push from CO
2nd i would push if antes are involved
anyway both push are not that bad, dont think they look spewy
VPIP: 35, PFR: 14, 3B: 4, AF: 1.7, Hands: 2277
but lower your VPIP a lot and increas PFR a bit
try flat/limp/coldcall less hands pre and try open more instead
What do you guys think about this play? I was trying to think how I could get max value from the guy, but maybe I wasn't getting another chip out of him after calling the turn - maybe he was just trying to take it down because of perceived weakness?
^^^^ would probably value bet turn setting up a shove otr. I would need a read that he's aggressive ip to check call ... sometimes that's the best play - but q check back anywhere by villain is disastrous IMO.

Any thoughts welcome
He probably has AJ crushed and if he sees you as nitty and you're an unknown new "scared money " he's not getting fancy with you especially with your stack. So yah fold.
I personally think my turn sizing was a meh.. had i made this small turn bet, i believe i should've shoved, but i didn't to get my a pair of 10 to a showdown.

We're like 4 away from the money. I thought this was a good spot to shove. My friend doesn't believe it was. Okay/standard or bad/wtf are you doing with your life? It's a turbo pro knockout so blinds go up every 5 mins.

I feel like I should open push this one. It was $11 turbo knockout. I got there from sat. V is unk. From time perspective minraise was a bit weak play with 12 bb. What would you do?

The villain is a bronzestar "smart" player. I thought his pot donk is a smaller pair or AK or top pair..
What would be your decision? Fold, call 3 streets or raise? Preflop i only called couz he is tight..
Is there an ante? If not, fold, if yes, it's probably borderline, and the answer may depend on ancillary factors like reads and closeness to bubble (ICM effects)

This. Is borderline even with 12% antes. If the table is playing really nitty or if I am in very tough table I might shuv it, but most of the time not.
BTN is 35/17 and played half of his BTN.
Fold to 3bet: 20 (1/5)
I felt like Push is slight better than call for two reasons:
- I am OOP, BTN is aggro post flop and I am not deep enough
- I think he never fold Axs in this spot
What you guys think?
Thanks
