posting here bc stakes don't matter for this hand and this is my home forum

villain is 18/3/1 after 30 hands, that's the only info i have, bought in with 250 iirc

nl1k villain has 280$

I open co 88 to 30$
BTN (aggro tag, pbb 3bets 99-TT and def 3bets JJ+) calls
He makes it 100$

Fold 99, jam TT+. I always get owned in these spots by random shorties with super tight 3bet ranges.

Fold like it's hot. If he had some kind of Ax hand he'd most likely just shove.. the small 3bet from a nitfish is almost always QQ+.

31 hands errrrr. I still prob fold. IME, shorties are way stronger when they 3-bet/squeeze to a smaller amount vs. outright shoving.

fold, i don't think you should be risking your stack against BTN (who can be flatting with a lot of strong hands here because short stacks love to squeeze, plus flatting strong hands here is fine in general imo) for a chance at BB's stack when we're probably 50/50 against his range.

i disagree. i think people view me as an aggro villain and i can flat AK/AA/KK in this spot.
