easy fold here ,you have 17 bb,villain open 3x,and we have many players behind

 

[hffjd2000]

Agree, too many players still to act.

I rather wait a good spot against him.

 

[VGShaa]

I agree. With your stack and so many players behind with a weak ace here to see prices very easy fold. One might even say supersonic))))

What speed in MTT ? If turbo or hyper shove will be fine, in reg speed i am fold, because we can more time that find other profitable situation...

not sure why you think a 35/15 ag 4 is "hyper aggressive maniac"

But if i'm following your read this might be an ok spot to jam, however A4s never does too well vs any range, and the key in this hand is that the BB is almost commmitted in the BB and the initial opener is a maniac, meaning we are going to showdown 3way here most likely.

So i guess it comes down to how well our hand does vs villians range.

OP you seem to know villian well, so what hand range do you put him on?

I do not know, really! Villain seems LAG tendents player with polarized range!

My thoughts:

Probably we are not get his value range to fold and we are behind vs his his EP value range! imo
Question which i asked to myself was: how often he is opening EP with his air range and willing to give up? I really do not believe it happens that often or even if we succeed we might get callers according to our position!

And our stack size is less then 20bb (we are not dead zone) - we can affort to let it go (it is not turbo)!

Thanks for comments.

His stats say "LAG" to me not hyper aggressive maniac. And there is a distinct difference. LAGs are generally reasonable players often very good and tough. HyperLAG maniacs are just action machines and you just wait for solid values and cross your fingers and hold on for the ride.

Facing either type of player A4s is not one I'd like to play. Especially when he raises in early position. Plus we have too many players left after us to squeeze or wake up with legitimate monsters. Just keep it simple and let this one go.
