FT - 3 Handed - Do you make this call?

[hockey coach]

Last night's "US Grand Prix" on Pokerroom - $100, 400+ entries, down to 3 handed.

Payouts: $10K, $6k, $4k

Stack sizes: Villian ~$250k, Hero $200k, interested bystander (IB) $~100k.

Blinds: 5/10k

Relevent reads/table dynamics: Villian had come to the FT as a co-leader and played very well - shifted gears several times, made some good reraises including pushing me off a hand preflop early in the FT when there were several smaller stacks out there. IB has been pretty passive throughout. I've changed gears a couple of times but got caught stealing a few times although not recently.

In the hand prior to this I'd shoved from the SB w/ a bare ace and was called by the villian w/ 44, spiked an A on the flop and doubled through to the situation we have now.

Hero is on button, villian is in SB, IB is in BB.

Hero is first to act w/ TT and raises to 40k, villian shoves, BB folds.

Hero???

Instacall? His range can't posssibly be ahead of TT, playing 3-handed. The fact that he's seen you raise with a weak ace probably means he's even willing to do this with hands like A7-A9.

If not now, when?

great nickname for BB, btw.

I call. Usually a push is 2 broadway that wants to see 5 cards. It could also be a pp looking for 2 broadway. Given the last hand, I think you can widen villian's range a bit. You didn't list a range, but if its AA-77 (down to 44?) plus AK-AT, KQ, maybe KJ, then you are ahead enough to call 160K into ~250K pot.

Instacall, and I do not think it is close. Go for the win right here.

Yah. You have to call this IMO.

Great job making to the final 3...nice payday!

If you fold here, what kind of hand are you gonna wait for with those blinds/stacks. TT is the biggest pair you'll probably see the rest of this tourney, and the range of hands is sooooo big here. Three handed I wouldn't be surprised if Villain has air here b/c of your previous steals. 4 hands you're worried about against probably 436246347245724 you aren't...

Instacall - just b/c he had JJ doesn't mean you played wrong.
