I played a couple of live $200 buyin MTT lately and witnessed some players (chip leaders) like flatting KK/AA at SB against LP open during mid stage when average stack maybe 20-30BB, and chip leaders have 60BB+.
I think the merits would be
1. LP opening range is weaker and may fold to chip leader pressure when 3bet large OOP.
2. LP may c-bet a lot on Axx,Kxx or Qxx board against SB/BB preflop callers
3. LP preflop raiser may be more likely to call SB turn/river check-raise because they may think chip leader is messing around
4. BB may be more incentivised to 3bet against LP open and SB flat.
What do you think about this play?
