This is a $108 freeze out. I usually not play this high, but won a qual. Average is 24,000. We are 17 left and 26 is getting money. First place pay $4300. I am secured $190.

Villian (wptchamp9) has opened 5 times in the 50 hands we have been at the table together. He has not shown any cards up. The first 4 times all have folded to his opening. The fifth time I 3-bet push from the BB and he folded. Hand number 1.

Hero has been active, but the only hand hero has shown up are hand number 2.

All 3 hands are in the same round. Generally people don’t call much at the table. Mostly the one that opens pre is taking it down uncontested.

But what is the most profited move in hand 3?

We have 20BB. A tight player is opening from UTG.

Do we push?

Do we flat and take a flop, because we have position. Or do we three bet to 5000?
