    Default $5.50 Deep Stacks: Weak line, ambitious bluff?

    200 places pay, about 400 left. I'm one of the chip leaders at this stage. Villain is Croatian, only about 15 hands and running something like 20/14. I've been opening wide and looking to take advantage of how bad people play with 20bb+ stacks. It's possible villain's noticed and looking to dick wave with a wider range pre.

    Pre: seems gross vs a small 3 bet against somebody that could do some damage to my stack. Are people getting this in as standard? We block KK/AA, so it's more likely he's JJ/QQ and some suited aces and suited connectors. I'd call this as standard in a cash game deeper than 52bb effective and just get it in for 52bb, but 52bb in an mtt seems closer. QQ/KK I probably get in, AA I call sometimes, gii sometimes.

    Flop: I think we're ahead here often enough, have some equity when we're behind and can get creative on a decent amount of turn cards. Thoughts?

    Turn: For value, I have TT/99 sets here, maybe 88 and AA, 3 combos of QJs and likely 77. I can semi bluff a few combos like AJcc, AQcc, AKcc but don't have many other bluffs. I likely call JJ again. Thoughts on turning this into a bluff? We do have some equity when called. I'm not liking that villain has sized up slightly on the turn and almost committed to the hand, but he can't have much relative strength here and I look so strong.

    PS: the hand converter has gone weird. I can only convert with spoilers, can only manually remove results and doesn't show me as hero in the spoiler
