Speed 33: ATo ITM... not sure about this one

Villain has been pretty solid on the bubble and ITM. That being said, I still put him on a relatively wide range after his preflop raise.

PartyPoker $33 Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t800 with t25 antes (3 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Button (t9535)
SB (t3415)
Hero (t7050)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Button raises to t2100, SB folds, Hero raises to t7050 (All-in)

I would say this is pretty read dependant. If he has been trying to steal a lot then i would most likely be pushing here, but if he has not realy been stealing much i would be folding this. What about a stop n go? Could be a good spot for that

i would rather call this and push pretty much any flop, i.e. stopngo.

Button only has 5k to call in a 9k pot... and has you covered, so very little FE preflop imo...

With that said however, you have ATo 3 handed.

I'm folding this, too risky for my liking when we have a great position. Meh, stop n go could be ok I suppose, for sure its better than pushing pf, but a fold is the best of the three I think. AJ I think I definitely stop n go and AQ, AK I push pf.

with your read i think you are better off folding here more times than not.

Let me add to my read... I think I have pretty good FE... Villain will fold often as I know that he notices the shorty. I think he may even fold AQ in this spot although I'm not sure about that. I'd say his calling range is 99, AK+? Maybe tighter, maybe looser but around there.

This is an insta repush.

if he is tight then why push pf. why not stopngo?

Stop n go is usually for when you have little fold equity before the flop, but a lot more after the flop. In this case, I would say that my FE is great enough preflop that if i'm going to push, preflop is best.
