Played an $11 MTT on PS yesterday with 703 runners. Prizepool distributed according to a standard payout, but Stars adds a $16k PCA package to the winner. Good value! So here I am at the final table, awful spot with 20bb and KQo in the SB vs the chip leader.
I contemplated 3bet shoving pre, 3betting small & folding pre and both options seemed questionable. He is definitely opening wide, but I think he is also calling me wide (55+ AT+ and pretty much never w/ KJ), so I never get it in really good. I also feel that I am better than him post flop so even though I am OOP I can still outplay him. BB is also a spot who would complete with virtually 80% of his range there and I don't have a problem going 3 ways to the flop expecting to be way ahead any time I flop TP.
On the flop, all my options suck! Calling sucks, raise/folding sucks, outright folding sucks, raising all in..? I have no idea what to do..
I was curious to hear what you would do Pre flop and especially on the flop as played.
