W/o any info I guess I also make a sigh-fold. However even vs unknown, if his stats look reasonable (its t100 after all) and if he seems to be more on the aggressive side, reacting to steals etc, or you have been more aggressive than std reg at these stakes in this tourney and you think someone may have grounds to 3bet you light here, I would shove.
in this case I prefer a coldcall thanks to the pot odds and I will go broke if I hit something, just because unknown opponent can min3bet also small pair, KQs, TT-JJand something like that, but pushing all in with no FE is not a great option with our stack and there is still the probability he can have KK+
against a medium decent player it's a standard fold imho
Hey Anssi,
Without any reads to the contrary I assume my opponent plays rational. In this situation the rational hands for him to 3bet (non push) from the BB against a MP raise would be qq-aa; and to a lesser extent jj &AK. Though we are getting pot odds to call, the implied odds are negative, because if we hit anything but a strait or flush we are most probably behind. We will still have a 12bb stack left to play in less questionable spots. Fold.
