Final Table Triceratops

Full Tilt, 8,000/16,000 blinds, 2,000 ante No Limit Hold'em Tournamen

 MP1: 366,481 (22.9 bb)MP2: 415,024 (25.9 bb)[b]Hero (MP3): 360,954 (22.6 bb)[/b]CO: 164,835 (10.3 bb)BTN: 278,023 (17.4 bb)SB: 640,173 (40 bb)BB: 210,850 (13.2 bb)UTG+1: 881,675 (55.1 bb)[b]UTG+2: 989,985 (61.9 bb)

Preflop[/b]: Hero is MP3 with T:spade: T:diamond

UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises to 32,000, 2 folds, [color="red"]Hero ????

Massive ICM implecations here.

Opener has been running over at final table and has opened on FT at nearly every oppurtunity.


So I decide to ship to protect my equity and he wont do anything crazy with QJ,KJ,AJ as I really dont want a race and would just like to pick up the money preflop

However if I get called it will be a minimal % of the time, but I am going to be in bad shape.

Fold seems too weak, flat is bad given stacksizes since he is going to barrel ATc and I wont know where I  am at unless the unlikely event I flop a T. And I have no room to manouvre.

 Would aprreciate any thoughts; whats the minimum range to 3b shove here? And is someone folding TT here?

Stacks are not that large to give too much room for any movement... if its a table full of regs i would get it in and wish the best.

Not knowing the exact payout-structure it should be a profitabel shove. The wider he opens, the more +EV your push should be.

What about 3bet/c? Anyone see an advantage in that? Makes our range look much stronger and if we get an AI, opponents range should be crushing us pretty bad.

So i cant see any opportunity than just get it in as a 3bet-shove.

To echo what geldepot has said, with just over 20bb what are your options? You could fold but I think that would be way too tight and a mistake. You could flat call but that would be a mistake sa you would have no room to move post flop or you could ship it in. I think a shove here is nearly always correct. Maybe if you had 25+ bb then other pre flop options would be available. I would ship here every time.
