I don't have the exact hand history but it's pretty straight forward. I am 11/30 in chips with 27 being paid. (Min cash would be break even.) I have 30BB and Villain has 100BB.
Folds around to villain in the SB, who is the big stack at the table and appears to be exploiting the fact that we are near the bubble. He has raised just about 10 straight hands with a pretty wide range.
Villain raises to 3BB, I have QQ and 30BB in the BB.
I'm wondering what the correct play here is. If I flat, I give him a chance with all his Kx Ax hands. I could just call down three streets on a safe board, but I don't love it. Also this player has been making large bets postflop, so it may end up getting all in by the river anyway. I could 3b small hoping to induce a shove. I could shove hoping to get called with AK, AQ, and smaller pairs. If I lose I'm out with no cash, if I win I am top 5 in chips. I realize this is just a play we have to go with and hope that we hold. Thanks for your thoughts.
