Hello! (I'm a new member to TPE) this hand was from the final table of $33 buyin on Merge network site from a week ago. Couple hands into the 9-handed final table, the Villain opened 2x from UTG with (~40ish BB) it gets folded to me and I was holding 1010 in the SB with effectively 21BB. I do not have the details super fresh in my memory, however, I do remember that the Villain was quite the LAG running some absurd numbers…I opted to 3-bet 3.5x and getting it on a non-scary board… Villains flats…then the flop got really tricky for me when an overcard hit the board (57J). Spoiler! i lost the hand but in hindsight I'd prefer myself to just get it in preflop to avoid situations like this. What would you do in my spot? and why? note: there's two stacks between 10-15BB. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

TPE member

The villain's been pretty active up to this point so I imagined the villain was opening pretty light as he was probably trying to steal the blinds..When the J came on the flop on a relatively dry board and I decided to bet 1/3 pot to see where I was at. He calls…Ace hits the turn then I shutdown at that point.

I could see just jamming pre-flop considering how risk averse you should be at a final table. Jamming may sound risky but really 3betting and giving V a chance to jam with like AJ or to call and then outplay you on the flop are much worse for you than just shoving and taking down a decent-sized pot when you have a hand that's hard to beat pre.
