$300 live 2-day tourney; 62 players from this flight get paid and will go through to day 2; about 150 of this flight left (with about 60 already through to day 2 from other day ones)
Blinds 200/800/1600
Hero is on BTN with AK playing approx. 100k (62bb)
Folds to hero and we open to 3500.
SB folds and BB 3-bets to 11,000 BB is also playing approx. 100k
Hero has been playing relatively aggressive , opening a lot of pots from LP. That said, villain has only been moved to table approx. 2 orbits ago, so hasn't seen much of this, and villain has not played a single pot to this point. Villain is an early 30 looking guy - as is hero...
do we just 4-bet get it in? Against someone I considered aggro in any sense of the word this would be my line; but I hadn't seen this guy play a hand yet and it just felt like he wasn't messing about - my guess was that he's prob not 3-betting 99 or AJ - TT+ and AQ+ seems likely...?
I decided to flat and play in position since we were both deep-ish
Flop: AQ3 rainbow
Villain leads for 20k. Seems like a weird spot to lead so big; AA and KK (which I also block) seem unlikely if he's decent at all imo.
I decided to flat as jamming (my only real raise option) seemed to achieve little as if called I'm presumably crushed, or chopping. Plus, given I flatted a big raise pre, I felt like he wouldn't pull the trigger with a random 67, or TJ suited type hand - if he did just so happen to have one of those hands ...
Turn: blank (6 I think)
Villain shoves 72k into pot of 64k.
??? we cover by about 5k (3bb) - thoughts on any/all streets welcome
