It won't be specific hand if not the bubble stage. Tournament average was about 20k. rough247 was a tight player, we have played only three orbits, ant in that time he only once raised and it was his first 3bet (huge one).
If i would use my time bank, i would be in the money, i didn't want to do that because of giving information. So it was 2.25$ buy in, and about 774 places paid (~3.00$ for 774 place). My thinking was "i'm not here to limp into the money", so i choose to play standard game. But did I do right? Which play should be more profitable in the long run?

I don't think u should fold AKs to a 3Bet in a micro tournament. The result was unlucky and u should be happy u have got ur chips in with a good hand. In the long run on the micro tournaments u should expect your 4Bet shove to be a winning play.

although I agree with above I do play AK differently on the bubble and just considering the action prefop i migt have jus called then ch/f flop,

were UTG+1 and make it about 2.5x bb which is fine
then the person beside us has jus re popped it knowing we raises from EP

not kowing all the dynamics of you and this person nor not kowinf if hes a maniac or jus a average player its really hard to go in depth

but the simple fact im re raises from one seat in front of me with a drawing hand is enough to call

the pot is $8300 when it comes back to us and its 4k to call, we are getting 2 to 1, we will be OOP but AKs(if it was AKo no question you call or fold) is a good hand and at this point I would think were flipping with 99-QQ, behind KK-AA in opponents range( if hes a donk idiot then its obviously standard to shove, we could add say AJs/o AQs/o maybe ATs, KQs, which makes it slightly better).

when the flop comes were open ended, but were so behind in all of his range now, you might consider betting small and seeing what happens and folding but i think the best line at this point is to check/fold

now ur stack is at around $15,000, it sucks but at least ur still playing.

I like playing lowball when my opponent is playing back at me from ep/Early middle and I am also in Ep with a drawing hand

I just can't see this play being profitable from this certain situation(without a good read) while ur close to the bubble against someone who covers u in chips

hope it helps

double post

Ok reading your post again I didnt see the bottom section

your explanation of him being tight not 3 betting etc is even more of a reason to use the call/fold pre flop...check/fold flop

against a very tight player, one raise / 4 orbits or more fold to reraise.

against a tight player, one raise / 2 - 3 orbits call the reraise, 0.75P contibet, fold to reraise.

against a looser player, 4 bet shove
