Hi,
I am new to runitonce and thats the First time I post a hand.
I played this yesterday...here is the action
2 final tables of he tournament and I just have been moved to the table.I know some of the players but not all.we playing 6 handed
UTG raise and I 3 bet (standard) and the BB cold call. when I do that I put him on 22+ AQo+ maybe ATs+ dunno.
I think that is my 1st mistake to put someone on a range when I did not play enaugh hands with him

On the flop Vs the weak donk bet I think that a raise lot of hands, some for values and some bluffs even if is a hard spot with the BB cold call but it look strong so I will do it to rep AK sometime.
Thats my 2nd mistake to think that the BB will maybe read my raise as a bluff and would call with a wide range.I know that I rep what I have, I think I am playing my cards face up in this spot
When he cold call the flop raise I do not know where I stand anymore in the hand...and that why I push thinking that there is only AdTd (because I have the As AsTs is not possible) that has a T or TT's.

I do not know about my on the turn.. do I get value from weaker K? If he Has weaker K He could have also QT JT KT so a T is more likely to show up.

I think I should have checked the turn and look how much he bet on river (can he bluff the river in that spot?? dunno)

I hope I was clear about my thought process.Let my guys know what you think was good or bad in my way of playing and thinking

I think knowing the other stack sizes on the other table is very important information. But without this, I have a feeling that there may be a more optimal pre flop and flop/turn actions, but not 100% on the best but will try to give some advice.

Vs unknown so close to the FT I want to avoid putting myself in awkward spots, so I think I would 3bet around 250-270k and not give such a good price to peel with the suited Ax BWs etc. If v. calls I would be proceeding with extreme caution. Or maybe I would just call pre until I had some info on how people are playing.

I think I might just call down on favorable run outs? Because we dont know if v. donks to induce or is just a drooler. But I think this is a really tough spot because the pot gets so massive so quickly that once we raise we are in a gross spot on later streets. As any later bets will be for a large portion of our stack.
