it was better for you to have made a 3bet. If you had lower cards could make the all in to steal the blinds running a little risk.Ja in that case if you make a tee 3bet probably will have at least one opponent to pay you and if you do not hit the flop you can take the pot by making a cbet

I prefer opening 2-2.3x here over shoving as it will yield a higher EV and shoving looks super strong here. If your stack is under 12.5bb I'd open shove.

I think your friend misunderstands the definition of 3-betting, which is reraising, and since you’re UTG obviously that is not an option.

As far as your decision goes, open shoving is fine. You could shove or raise here really. If you want to get called, raising is the better option, if you want to pick up the blinds, the shove is the better option.

Glad someone clarified that a 3bet and an opening raise are different lol

Seems pretty standered for a freeroll

I'm going to limp. Chance to inflate the pot with a valuable hand and / or someone to raise.

There is no real reason to sweet the pot, since people is on preflop (freeroll) call happy.

I would limp or go AI preflop for polarizing my opening range OP. But view times when i have strong reason to believe that one of my villains will 3bet on me i would consider standard bet/4bet on preflop in OP.

Depend on table dynamic.Shoving range should be less than 15 bb for AK +.

UTG with that stack I'm limping most of the time, hoping to get a raiser maybe someone call his bet and shoving with AK, before the flop, lots of people might hate that play, I love it

A re-raise P/F might get me nervous depending on player,etc
