20K gtd big local tournament. It's early maybe like round 4. Starting stack at buy-in is 15k. Here's the history on the players who will be in the hand and their stacks:
Seat 1 - Unknown new player w/ around 15k
Seat 3 - What appears to be a total donkey/wild card. This is the first time I've played with him, but he will bet or call with as weak as 3rd pair on the river. He is in every other hand. His stack as expected has been swinging back and forth. Currently he has chips. About 26k.
Seat 4 - Good TAG. I've played with him a ton. I know he's capable of bluffing, or checking big hands on the turn but will also bet to protect big hands. Mostly plays straightforward and optimal. Has about 17k.
I have around 13k in seat 8 (we are 9 handed). Normally I play a LAGish style but with the wild card at the table on my left I've been playing more TAGy.
Blinds are around 150-300 no ante yet. I'm in BB w/ 8s6s
Seat 1 limps, seat 3 limps, seat 4 limps, SB folds, I check my option.. Pot $1,200
Flop is 8d6dTs. I check, Seat 1 bets $700, Seat 3 calls, Seat 4 raises to $2,100. He is very straight, super poker face I read it as very polarized. Seat 1 calls out of turn. I decide to flat. Seat 1 calls and not surprising seat 3 calls.
Pot is now $9,600. Turn Ac. I check, Seat 1 checks, Seat 3 checks, Seat 4 checks.
River Jh. I check, Seat 1 checks and looks totally disinterested now, Seat 3 bets 3k. Seat 4 goes all in for about 12k total. I have around 10k left. Seat 1 and 3 still to act behind me.
I've thought long and hard about this hand. Do you call here? Would you call if it was a re-entry?
I've left all my range analysis out so everyone can give their opinions to see if there's something I missed. I'll post my thinking below after I see all the responses.
