Hey folks,

New/old member here, just rejoined after long time away. This might seem like a trivial spot but just wanted to have some other eyes on it.

Bovada 33$, 30k guaranteed (Wild Wednesday mini main event). Over 1500 runners, we are approaching the money (perhaps 260 players remaining, 200ish paid). We have 38bb which is well above average and biggest stack at our table, which we were moved to very recently.

9 handed, we are dealt AKo UTG+1, open for 2.4bb. Folds to SB, who 3bet shoves 31bblind stack (second biggest at our table, very comfortable stack).

Early in a Bovada event, this is a snap-call, because it is so often spewy fish who don’t know how to play AQ or 99 or something. And most importantly, with weak players it is almost never AA or KK. So I called without even thinking. But this late in a tournament, I need to give the remaining unknown players more credit, especially since this is a special event that probably attracts more strong players than normal (not saying much for bovada). The 30blind reshove really confused me, I’m not sure how to range such an unusually large shove. I’m disappointed in myself not so much for my decision but more because I just clicked the button without taking the time to properly consider this unfamiliar situation.

Also, second question, if they make a normal 3bet (to 8bb or something), what is our play?
