So I final tabled a live event that was part of a series a couple weeks ago. It got down three handed. Luckbox terrible guy in seat one keeps getting ace king or queens and is up to about 1.4 m i have 750k and the other guy has 1.1m
hand goes:
10/20k blind 3k ante
i raise the button with 66 to 50k sb folds bb shoves i ????????
other note. The bb has been really shovey in the last few orbits. Not to many have shown down but i think he feels if he has better than k high he is always shoving here. I was almost anticipating it during this hand.

Pretty sick. But I think you have to decide in advance what hands you are going with against a player like this and stick with it, what will be will be. He's obviously decided to take any post flop play out of the equation and is trying to close it out. If you go with it and win you're chip leader, lose and I presume you take a reasonable payout?
Personally I think I go for it.

If you think you have a significant advantage over the other two, I fold here. Even against a fairly wide range of 22+ and J10s+ we have like 48% equity. I just feel like that isn’t enough if we have a significant edge. Also if villain is piling a lot like that I just min open the button. Those 10k’s will add up fast.

Totally agree with JLUDE. No reason to put another 10k in pre, it is going to add up. Depending on how the structure is, I would fold. Opening is right, but at some point you are going to have to play back at the wacko. He's prob getting some good hands, but not all are great…………. What series was this?

what if i have an HUGE edge over the chip leader, but the other player has outplayed me a few times already?

we re flipping or dominated badly so its fold for so many bb’s;actually this is a good hand to discuss the difference between live and internet poker,,i played alot live lately and noticed that the players that play nity win actually more then they should(they are just nity not competent),so i think spots that look standard on internet,u can pass them on a live mtt right?
EZ fold…
no need to be opening 2.5x when 3handed.. open for min, 2.2x if you feel so inclined.
Continue opening your button. I don't know your game, but if comfortable postflop, you could even try limping some middling hands T8s/JTo/A5s ect (better option heads up or bvb imo). Keep opening, shutting down and playing fit or fold isn't the proper adjustment imo.

so what do we do here with 88-99 and AJs- AQo? I think its closer than people think but i guess raise/fold is better than raise/calling.
Live tourneys are def played differently than online, but the game setting doesn't change the math here. We really ought to have a better idea of what range BB is shoving in these spots after playing the whole ft with him… It would be nice to know what he's doing w/JJ+ AK before deciding what to do with our AQ 88-TT holdings.
