iTrump had been failry active since FT started, stats are 18/18 over 58 hands

grandolepal is 18/13 over 129 hands, has been pretty nitty but would def be 3b his big hands here,

tiggers is 23/10 over 41 hands and I don't think we have to worry at all about him.

So much in the middle yet there is a 5bb stack, 8th gets $617 and 7th gets $908, first is $7500. I feel like jamming is bad ICM wise but it looks so juicy to jam here.

What do you do?

Theres'a also a 10 bb stack about to have both blinds go through him. I agree it's juicy but I usually nit it up at FT's (usually implies I've made one recently, ha) until it gets down to 5 or 6 handed.

I think I fold here. All these smallish pairs we'd like to fold out probably aren't going to.

I dunno… so tempting like you said. Suited I jam lol… unsuited I fold.

i love 3 bet jam here. i never nit it up i play to win and this looks like a spot to pickup a good pot. with 19bbs and 2 players looking like there holding on for dear life you could be down under 10bbs before you know it just waiting for these fools to get lost. i dont like missing key spots late as the opening range widens when there are short stacks at the final table because of the money jumps. perfect squeeze spot imo

i agree as well, you have a good jamming stack and the play is setup for it. Jam it like smuckers!

I'm a 3 bet jam fan also.

Your only worry seems to be if itrump has woken with a strong hand. His stats tho are screaming for you to put him under pressure.

Agree with your lack of worry for grand and tigg, and would be surprised if they were to call a 3 bet.

I love the stack size for re-stealing. The problem is…it's still a MP raise. That gives me concern. He has played 9 of the 53 hands. Just by the count of orbits, it would seem that he has played most of his hands in late positions. I would be interested in what positions he has opened from before this. I think I would like a little bit stronger hand to squeeze…just because of his position.
