We are 3-handed. 3rd gets $2k, 2nd $2.7k and 1st $3.6k. It's a $22 1R1A on stars.eu

In retro I was wondering if I should just flat QQ to the cold-4bet here, as we have much more chips than the other villain. The BBs 5bet-shove-calling range should be very tight, so maybe a small 5bet-induce is better – or just a flat to reevaluate the flop and maybe get away on a K or A board.

Blinds increase very 15 minutes, this is a pretty deep structured tournament.

Thoughts?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 22 Tournament, 10,000/20,000 Blinds 2,000 Ante (3 Spieler) – PokerStars Converter Tool from …..verter.php

Button (t548,292)
Hero (SB) (t964,225)
BB (t1,211,483)

Hero's M: 26.78

Preflop: Hero is SB mit Q spade , Q diamond
Button raises to t40,000, Hero raises to t100,000, BB raises to t228,483, 1 fold, Hero raises to t962,225 (All-In), BB calls t733,742

Flop: (t1,970,450) K club , 10 diamond , A club (2 Spieler, 1 all-in)
Turn: (t1,970,450) 4 club (2 Spieler, 1 all-in)

River: (t1,970,450) 9 diamond (2 Spieler, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t1,970,450
Hero has Q spade , Q diamond (one pair, Queens).
BB has A heart , K diamond (two pair, Aces and Kings).
result: BB wins t1,970,450

Villains are both very capable winning regs.

when you are deep (short stack effective is 27.5 here) and this late, and you get 4 bet the first thing that fires off in my brain: What is his range here?

Has he 4 bet anyone yet at final table?
how do I like my chances against these guys if this goes on for another hour? are they patient also?
is the fact that he is last in chips affecting him? i.e. would he GetItIn with AJ? JJ? TT?

Game flow is how I would want to weigh this, but I am probaly getting it in with QQ 3 handed in most scenarios. And you have to expect you do have some fold equity >0% if this isnt his first 4 bet.

to me wp nh

i probably only flat AA,KK here and gii with the rest as villain should only be calling with a very tight range. maybe KK+,AK as loosing this would also almost cost him a lot of $equity.
