Villain had been quiet through 2 rounds, raising twice in late position and getting folds, called a raise in late position and folding on an Axx flop, and not playing any other hands (3 out of 18).

The number of boring TAGgy $10 tournament players capable of 3-betting with TT- are very small. Still...too weak?

I think with 40BB stacks I would just ship it in, but with 60BB stacks I'm not sure if thats best. My first thought was that sizing looks like what an MTT regular would go to, not some $11 nit. It looks like this is an $11 rebuy so it wouldn't be unrealistic if this villain was a mid/high stakes regular who can 3bet more than just TT+ AK

Is calling the 3bet an option? I feel like I would be hating life but folding pre just doesn't seem right given your both in late-position.

Making a small 4bet to induce doesn't seem like an option, stacks seem too shallow and its a stretch to assume this guy has a 5bet bluff range.

In the end I'd probably give him the pile. I bet if you OPR villain his average buyin will be >$50 which often means he can 3bet light. reggy sizing tells

juan I think you're overestimating the amount of people who 3 bet wide at any stakes, esp with money left behind.

Being OOP I think folding is fine, I would usually call IP.

I think just shipping seems bad only because (regardless of the BBs) i'm not sure villain would get it in with a range worse than AK+, QQ+ vs the only other relative bigstack at the table.

This is just a random thought but what about 4-bet folding to like 10.5k pre? How terrible is it to potentially throw away 1/3 of your stack if you think it enables you to take pot down vs his air and fold vs hands that crush you (obv you're gonna get owned by AK here a portion of the time).
Family Cruise IMO

you do run into the occasional aggro-donk who 3bets ATs but I just felt that this guy seemed too unimaginative and tight .. probably 90% of MTT guys like this have a 3-bet range of precisely QQ+....

Cant you call this just to set mine? I also think this would be AQ+ some % of the time.

I think it would depend on whether villain cbets with air or not. On a board like that I would certainly call to play the turn.

If we assume villain is 3betting a wide enough range that 4bet 'bluffing' with JJ is +EV, then why wouldn't we just call the 3bet? He's probably going to make his hand pretty transparent either on the flop. or at the very least turn. That is checking back missed AK (maybe AQ) because a failed cbet is quite a large portion of the effective stack. So seems like we could own the likely bad villain here in this manner.

But I know nothing about playing solid in a tourney fwiw.

None? Idk how you can put a villain on QQ exactly just because they 3-bet you.

I put him on QQ, because that's what these types of players 3-bet with.

Given your read on opp, I think I'd fold this too. I think the problem with calling is one of reverse implied odds - as you said, how many chips will you lose on an undercard flop?

If opp was a LAGGtard (or a blufftard who will 3-bet but fold to a shove!) then shoving over is fine obv.
