Its obv depends on his 3bet range but i'd make it 125 pre and probably would fold against unknowns.

I would base it on stats and his image, if it's next hand after he lost his stack i would always call, but if i see him sitting there like 10hands and just waiting, than prefer fold.

he was very tight and i should fold. i would never raise there with the intention to fold he's shove. i raised to call a 3bet. so fold is better imo

I think you just cant start openfolding A9s from BU. If he is tight, steal the blinds, you have an A blocker to his shoving range. Just raise/fold this and later if you feel that he is 3betting loose enough against you, then you can start raise/calling with A9s.

Hi all,

Mandatory raise preflop with 22 bb. Mandatory make it less than 150 here, 125 is fine 100 is better.

Once you've made it 150 I'm not folding for 595 more, if we made it less I think we can fold.
