Good reg who has been opening frequently, but not seen getting out of line.
I have been active both opening and 3-betting and had build a decent, but have lost a couple of all in to shorties and now down to 23bb
So I see my options here as 3-bet/calling or jamming. What do you prefer and why?
My thoughts are basically that our hand plays bad if he elects to call a 3 bet, but he is playing a 20bb stack so I do not see him flatting often. My 3 bet range is obviously wider than my jamming range here and by jamming I pretty much turn my hand face up?
Had I had 17-18 bb my whole range would have been screwed towards jamming, which makes lift easier in this spot.
Oh, sidenote; since this is a wcoop with great structure, do you ever r/f 8's in this spot vs. described villain type?

So some things to collect to have a clear answer here.
Does he frequently open raises against your BB ?
You said that youve been active with your 3 bets, did any hand got to showdown ?
Since is on the table with you, did he ever 4bet jam to any 3 bet from certain player? Or did he ever 4 bet some player ? 4 bet fold ? 4 bet call ?
If the all the answers to this questions are no, i will just call. Call some c bet in certains flops and expect him with his stack to give up after get a call from you. Dont think with is stack of twentish BB that hes going to double barrel light and leave himself with 15/10 bbs behind.
To 3 bet call i think its ok, its 6 max he s opening wide you re not going to be dominated too often to this be a really -EV play. Make 2400 to call shove.
BTW do you have an edge on the players of your table ? If its a clear yes, think you should try to play post flop with your 88 and be sure that you stay on the tourney.
You are talking like the blinds are 250/500 but the hh says its 200/400, which end is the mistake on? I think with almost 30bbs I would always prefer 3b/calling to ripping. If you dont see him flatting often which I would agree with I think you should 3bet very small, to around 1800 or something and give him rope to 4b shove low pairs and Axs hands with some perceived fold equity. This also affords you the luxury of being able to fold if for example the bb shoves and gregior calls. I would not r/f 88 to a 24bb shove in this spot regardless of how good the tourney structure is.
You are right Stephen, got my bb mixed up witg gregior when I quickly looked at the stats in HEM. Like your 3bet small thoughts, thx.
I would go all in
I did rip it, but I would be interested in hearing you reasoning why you think ripping its better than 3 bet/calling?
With close to 30 bigs I do have a 3bet/fold range, which might induce some lighter shoves from villan, while his calling range to a jam is likely much tighter. I am assuming that villan has a open/fold range in this spot also.
The opener has less than 25bbs and the SB has less than 12bbs. You are only playing 30bbs deep vs. one the BB.
