Micro-stakes final table 3-handed. Is this a fold or a call?

The villain in this hand had been playing fairly recklessly at the final table, he took the chip lead by sucking out twice after getting it all-in behind in huge pots, he has a terrible Sharkscope graph on a sample of only 62 tournies. Since we got down to 3-handed he seems to have calmed down somewhat and hadn't been involved in any big pots for about a dozen hands.

 

Fold or call?

I call. TP OESD would seem good enough against villain. We are behind excatly 65 combinations of hands but still have 48% equity. If we give villain a range of the top 15% of hands, then we have 58% equity against his range.

 

One question I would ask is this: when you say he got it in bad and sucked out…was he the one who pushed first and got it in bad or did he call way behind?

 

Without any other information, I call.

I would have like to get this all in pre being the shorty, KQ is not a bad hand 3-handed and if you hit it, would put you back into the game. As played I think you have to make the call, you have a good showdown hand and he could be bullying you. At micro stakes anything is possible.

Thanks for your replys guys.

Suckouts; 3-bet all-in a pre-flop raiser with 99, at least 20BB effective stack, cracked aces. Got it all-in against the (then) chip leader in a pre-flop raising war with ATo and outdrew AJ. After a period of playing with no fear he'd tightened up considerably 3-handed, even sitting out for 3 hands after typing BRB in the chat box.

I hear what you're saying 'at micro-stakes anything is possible', so maybe this is a lame question.

I made this call, but I found it very difficult, the turn all-in donk bet was confusing to say the least, hence posting the hand here for some feedback.

I agree with this.  Shove pretty quickly pre-flop with your stack 3-handed.
