Deepstack MTT: Blinds t400/t800 ante 10%


Stack sizes of players: button(t39BB); SB(t51BB); BB(t22BB); UTG(t54B B); MP(t20BB)


Those players seems to play ABC strong poker, there was one supertight player (MP) and other where TAG. Villain (SB) was somehow playing a little bit LAG at the moment, hero lost a huge pot 10 minutes ago and had to give chiplead away to UTG(54BB) who doubled up. Blind goes up every 15 minutes.


Hero effective size: t22BB
SB effective Stack size: t51BB


Everyone folds til SB. And small blind decides to make t2BB to go.


Hero looking suited A3s

What is your play and why (fold, call, 3bet)?

Do not look spoiler, there is hero decision which does not matter for analyse.

Hero goes AI

with 22bb I dont have much room to be raise folding and all that jazz. BB has 50+bb and can make my life miserable if I 3bet so im just calling here. and with 22bb im not playing around here, if I dont like the flop or the action, Im out. This leaves me with a nice rejam stack. If I had a bigger stack Id start raising and all that.

Im not jamming and Im not looking to drop many chips by trying to outplay a 50bb stack with 20bb.

You have to think why he bets in that way. Maybe he wants to steal your blind or maybe he wants you that you raise him. However, in a war blinds you have to 3 bet and risk 3-4 blinds to take the pot right now. If you receive a 4 bet or all in you can fold and keep chips to push them later until you receive a good hand. Your goal here is win the tournament not only getting a 3rd or 2nd place.

I would pretty much defend any ace from bb to steals, especially in position vs sb.

Time to play aggressive here I think. 3-bet or shove...
