Blinds are 2500/5000 and 500 ante

11 people left in the tournament .... lemme know if i'm leaving anything out.

This hand looks fine. You basically use an in position go and go and for some reason the SB decides to make a pretty bad pre flop call. Stopngo's don't work anymore.

It means he decided to go with the hand pre but instead of shoving he would call and then shove the flop and hope you missed and suck at poker and folded.

This hand is obv very std. assuming you call 100% of flops when he stop n go's.

You could also 3bet smaller pre to induce, just shove, or even flat, (I like this least but can imagine it's ok vs. some really nitty players) but only folding pre would be a huge mistake.
