This is a very deep stacked MTT with 25 minute blinds. My table is soft and I have a nitty image over 180 hands cause super card dead forever. So with a decent edge on the table should i wait for better spots? The payjumps are also getting quite significant for my bankroll. I know 15bb my edge can`t be that big but this is barely a profitable shove and every 30 minutes i get 100 euro or  more. The reason i played it was i had won a ticket so i had to.

Hero raises to T439,584 (all-in)

CO wins T958,568

The opener is loose and i have very nitty image here also. I am mostly wondering how bad flatting VS 3 betting is here. The squeeze shove is from tight-ish player. Is this a fistpump shove all day long as played?

Neither of these seems that close to me. In the 77 hand, remember that you are about to go through the blinds, which gives you some extra incentive to make your move now.

What about flatting VS 3 betting the AK in this spot? I guess it depends a lot on the table but in a vacuum do you prefer 3b or flat?

With a shortish stack, you’ll be hard pressed to play AKo well postflop without the betting lead because you have to really know your opponent’s tendencies and you need to be continuing a lot. Also, you probably don’t want to flat any of your range here except maybe AA. If the buttton through the blinds were all high squeeze %-ers and capable (possibly too loose), I’d flat to induce and to snap off with like 70% equity.

Against a loose opener, you have a very clear 3bet for value in vacuum. They have 27bb, a pretty good 4bet ripping stack vs most mtt-sized 3bets. If this opener is loose, they’ll have a lot of hands with low prospects postflop out of position, so you could be getting a shove from some random spaz hand too.

Good point 🙂 So my flatting range here would be AQ, 77-99 and the occasional TT, KQs and AJs with those last 3 i would 3b most of the time. Do you think i should 3b all of those hands every time?

I want to say fold 77/88, 99 seems like a 3b/call against an opponent who has too much going on. I’m assuming they’ll open like all suited aces if you think they’re loose. That leaves a lot of hands that can 4bet shove. AQ I can maybe see calling to induce action but I think I’m coming back to don’t have a calling range here. You’re putting in like 7% of his stack, you’re getting played back at for value like 20% of the time (TT+, AQ+ at a minimum) you won’t be able to maneuver too well postflop. You’re all short. I don’t have much of a flatting range for most situations < 40bb off the top of my head.

 

But if you put 2.2 blinds in with 77 you’re probably not burning money, but it’s certainly going to lose overall unless your opponents are passive weak. I’d def prefer someone else chime in, but I think you may just want to muck 77/88, and 3bet or fold in this exact position/situation

I think these are both good spots to get it in – I think you’re over-estimating the value of folding and ‘waiting for a better spot’, something that a lot of people do. If you think this spot is profitable, you should take it.

Side note: I read the thread title and thought, “whoa, how the hell is there a tournament with 160 million euros in the prizepool?!” – I am not a smart man, evidently.
