IPoker, $1 Buy-in (400/800 blinds, 100 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players

SB: 28,595 (35.7 bb)

UTG+2: 3,596 (4.5 bb)

MP2: 26,432 (33 bb)
MP3: 11,406 (14.3 bb)

BTN: 17,220 (21.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6c As
6 folds, BTN raises to 3,200, SB folds, Hero ?

I've gone over this hand on my own and would like input. I'll save my thoughts for later. How you playing this spot? What range are you giving this opponent?

for this spot i dont find i need to range much…. its just a 3x [plus antes] it could really be 77+ which is pretty damn wide

This is a snap fold to me… Dont get me wrong; im in favor of defending but not with A rag

either shove or fold depends on the opponent imo, but without any info – fold

This is a slightly awkward spot with your stack sizes. This spot is going to be v villain dependent and history between you aswell. If he has been opening a lot of BTNs (for 3x, even from this stack size) then 3bet shoving seems fine. But, he has a 21bbs stack and shouldnt be 3x opening a hand hes not intending to go with, however, this is a $1 tourney so who knows what his intentions are if there is further action.

I wonder whether the fact it is a $1 influences the decision. If it was a $10 tournement would it be different?

In this situation i depends whether hea has been raising a lot. He could be raising with any.

Dudes this is a 4x or 20% of Villain's stack. Pretty clear show of strength. Barring a read to the contrary, I'd fold. Tougher decision if you had ATo.

Such an easy fold. Whatever he's raising with he's hardly ever folding and we're just taking a completely unnecessary high variance spot with the 2nd biggest stack at the table in a super soft field.

I'd even fold ATo here.
