$2200 ANZPT Main Event 47/256 runners ~27 Paid 131k up top.
Start of day 3, I have about 75k in total which is about 27th in chips out of the remaining players.
Tournament chipleader is on our table with 310k in chips and is a pro online grinder. Over the first 20 hands he has had a VPIP of 80/75 0F3B. 0FCB.
He has so far played quite aggressive postflop, calling XR with cheese to then bet turn with picked up draw (got there on river so hand was seen). Hands to showdown have been A10os UTG, Q9s MP, 44MP all played aggressively.
He opens his standard 5k in MP folds to my BB and I look down at 88.
I am legitimately stumped on how to play this hand vs such an aggressive villain with this stack size OOP.
I feel like if I flat pre, I think I will be guessing on flops and turns... just check calling unless I hit an 8 but this feels like a spastic way to bleed off chips. Again I feel like 3betting pre I would need to make it slightly large to discourage a full range of calls e.g k10os, q9, j10os etc, being OOP, the vulnerability of my hand and the fact he is aggressive. But once again it feels like I will just get owned postflop on so many boards with 88 here as he will apply pressure and I will be guessing.
I could jam but it feels like my stack is too big and I am isolating myself against the top of his range? But there is a lot of dead money out there.
Fold and wait for a better spot?
