I have 227 hands on this player (not all from this tournament) who is running 9/7 with a 0% 3b (0/60) and no opportunities to 4bet. I don't like flatting here, and I'm not sure shoving is good since we're way behind his 4bet range so should we just make a disciplined fold here? Also, is 3bet pre here better than a flat?

Side question: does anyone know how to view table session stats in the replayer in PokerTracker 4 on Mac? I can do it during game, but not in the replayer.

I definitely don’t mind flatting pre here 3 ways pre ante with QQ. You squeeze out a lot of their range here by 3 betting and can play your hand super under-repped along with avoiding this sticky spot by flatting. In a $4 tourney online I can’t imagine folding once I 3bet squeeze this spot if he has AA/KK either bink the Q or open a new tournament imo. 🙂

I think 70bb effective even four handed we can flat pre (for the reasons Danny said) and play wawb post if an over falls. I think as played if he has you crushed here this is really unlucky.

I like Danny's play of flatting here, it can be great to flat strong hands pre-ante from time to time. Definitely not folding QQ 4-handed in a $4 tourney, though.

I'm already reluctant to 3bet given his stats, but pay attention to his bet size as well. Have his opens generally been 4x? If not, I think that's even more of a reason to flat.
