Default $5 HU tourney, flop flush draw & high cards

32 person, $5 HU tourney on Stars. This is the second match (thats why the chips are double). Villain has been pretty LAGgy thus far and has 3bet my button raises already 3 times since we started and we are still on Level I. I have folded to his other 3 bets preflop. I decide to see a flop here. Does anyone agree with this line? Thoughts preflop and on flop appreciated. I post this because my play was berated by him alot and he is pretty profitable on sharkscope.

are all of his 3bets this large? if they are i just shove it preflop; his range sounds very wide.
i think calling preflop is the worst line unless you're planning to call allin with ace high.

The line is fine if you had a stronger hand and you know he would lead OOP on any flop in this situation. Then it would kind of be like a stop and go play when you shove over his lead.

In this situation I think you shove or fold preflop, with a hand like ATs you don't really want to call that type of raise preflop, it will make your post flop situations very tough way too often IMO with these stack sizes.

As played preflop, you definitely should call this flop, it is a relatively profitable call against his likely range.

PF is really bad. If he's any good, he's pushing any flop. You're giving him a sort of stop n go opportunity. On the other hand, with your read that he is doing this light, you could push PF. Never call though. Gross.

If he has a profit on sharkscope after a fair number of games then I doubt his 3bets are weak, even at this low buy-in. He may do this with most pairs and something like AQ+, in which case you should fold preflop. But if you think he is a fish then just go all in preflop.
