BU 29/16 3bet 4.5% - 53 hands

I actually considered folding this pre because at the time I thought villian had been playing very tight and I just had a bad feeling about it so thats why I played post flop cautiously. But looking back through the previous hand SB vs BB he 3x with Q3o then called a 4X reshove for 2/3 his stack. When he had been shortstacked he had not been raising much

Isn't that a reshove? Excuse me if I am wrong, because my 9-man ICM is rusty.

But, regardless, I would never fold this hand. It plays great postflop, you are gonna hit it strong about 45-46% of the time etc, etc. So if you feel 3betting pre is minus EV or not optimal-just flat. Don't fold though.

Postflop-I am thinking of leading the turn or not. If he's not tricky- I would definitely lead turn/river big. If he's capable of doing this with some 2 pairs, sets I prefer to c/c.

All in all, it's a great flop for him to be betting with all his bluffs, so I kind of like your line more tbh.

You may well be right about the reshove, I think the reason I didnt was because I had 25BB, he had more than me and at the time I thought, wrongly, he had been playing tight.
