I ran into this spot two days in a row so I have to ask about it.
Final 2 tables of 5.50 1k tournament on WPN.
UTG (covers me) opens 2.1BB.
Folds to me (18BB) in late position with TT. Villain (17/14) has 96% fold to 3bet stat (25 out of 26). My instinct is here is jam, but afterwards I think, why not 3bet small and fold since he likely only calls with bigger pairs and AK. If I made it 5.5BB I would still be left with just over 10BB which would allow me to continue to ladder up and also leaves me hope.
This may be super nitty but with that fold to 3b stat it just seems like the correct play and I could probably do it as a bluff also. Villain is also the big stack at the table and could be opening a bit lighter than usual to put pressure on everyone else. I seriously had this situation two days in a row and ran into KK and AA both times. It seemed so obvious afterwards, but folding pairs is hard. I suppose I can try to put it into ICMizer.
