UTG 10/9 (109 hands – from Early positions he played 9/9 (23 hands))
UTG+1 22/24 (64 hands – from Early positions he played 14/14 (14 hands))
MP (50/30) (20 hands)

What would you do here? UTG folded to 3 bets 100% (5 hands) if that matters.

These spots are always close as to whats more +EV with a jam or a fold. With what you know of the players and at this buy-in level, the big 3bet could be 88-TT or AQ+ which you are in good shape against or you could be crushed some of the time as well. Problem is you dont have enough info on the other two players in the pot and how strong they are.

I think it depends on you as a player. This could be a fold but I also dont mind jamming and trying to get a monster stack early which can be crucial in these. You can always fire up another one. cool

This early and ~deep stacked in a $4.40 with 15 min levels you can let go of this. You are only ahead of AK and AQ which I feel is the bottom of his range here.

These games are so slow and give you plenty of spots to build a stack, I would rather wait for a better spot. If it were a turbo I would jam it in.

when mass tableing these Im sure i shipped it in here a few times in the past smile

that being said, i think without reads this is probably a fold.

Pitching it here almost 100% of the time. Tight UTG open, UTG+1 flat and really big 3 bet from UTG+2 I just don't ever see JJ being in good shape. I think TT and below overcall so we're looking at a very tight range that we have very bad equity against.

I would fold here because even if you are flipping or JJ is slightly better then their ranges (which is almost impossible), you probably have big edge against opponents in this tournament, so it's better to fold and take better spots.

Def think this is a fold as well. You will find better spots in these for sure to get your chips in.
