FT of a 3.30 donkament on stars and I’m 2/6 remaining with 60bbs the guy in 3rd has 53bbs and is playing extremely aggro with decent hands (I’ve noted him to 3bj 50bb w chip lead behind) but at a fair frequency considering ICM, I think we saw AQo at showdown once in a similar scenario.

I open JJ utg and he 3 bet jams. I folded considering ICM and the fact that I am 50-70% favourite vs a range of Ax and I am not sure whether he plays bigger pp like this or not.
Obviously I am not out of the tournament if I lose and I was more comfortable taking the lower variance route, but poker ain’t about what makes you comfortable it’s about what makes you the most money!

I am roughly aware of the disparity between cEV and $EV in these spots, but this situation exposed my lack of knowledge of the extent to this disparity. I basically had to guess at the decision in game and would like to be able to study it more thoroughly.

Important details: At the time there were 3 shorter stacks with 12, 20 & 23 bbs respectively. If I called and won I would be an overwhelming chip leader, c/l had 66bb.

Payouts were as follows:

1st: 252
2nd: 147
3rd: 105
4th: 80
5th: 63
6th: 51
I am still doubting whether it was a correct fold and roughly what is our calling range in this spot? What is the best way to study these spots and what tools can I use?

FT Bubble of $0.99 FRENZY R&A on 888. Villain has reggy stats over 41 hands (23/10/7)(VP/PR/3b). Tournament ahsa turbo structure

Payouts are as such.

1: $129
2 :$93
3:$70.5
4: $52.5
5: $36
6: $30
7: $24
8: $18
9: $12
10: $10.5

I have ~average stack, there is a 3bb stack i am roughly 7/10.

Villain opens 3x UTG 17bb. Folds round to hero in the BB with 12bb.

What is your re-jam range in this spot?

2nd spot is a calling range spot in a $5 8max on 888 also.
Payouts:
1: $218
2:$155
3: $120
4: $85
5: $55
6:$45
7:$35
8: $27.5
12-9: $22.50
16-13 $17.50

villain (36/5/0) over 39 hands jams 14bb from CO.

folds to us in BB with 14bb also (1/2 avg stack and we're about 11/14) no significant shortstacks (lowest ~10bb)

What is our calling range?

I've noticed when watching high stakes FTs that the really good players are 3bj over 50bb eff in certain spots. The two examples I can think of are Apoth in 25k SCOOP.

Is this because Apoth doesn't have a small 3bet range due to ICM? My thinking was have small3b range of JJ+/AK balancing with maybe with some hands too weak to flat but with good removal, i.e. A4o and A5o.

The second one I found on a high stakes MTT board and could see any good reason for this, especially with 22.

First post so apologies if this should go somewhere else!
