This is how the stacks lined up when we got 3-handed after I flopped quads and was lucky to have an idiot who sloplayed KK PF in the hand and a guy who flopped a cooler. So we went from 5 to 3 really fast.

Here's how we lined up:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button (t5235)
Hero (t4650)
BB (t3615)

Pretty cookie-cutter players:

BB was a supernit. He let me take his blinds and wasn't playing hands. Typical TAG. Very straightforward with what he has PF to commit his opponents to the pot. Didn't take any risks. Didn't take any flops where he wasn't the aggressor and when he was, he was raising 4x.

Button liked to take flops. Wasn't very aggressive PF, but got a bit too involved and too aggressive postflop with marginal hands. Probably not a Turbo player... Definitely not a Turbo player. Limps too much. Never really knew when he was gonna fold or just call when he limped, but he was giving my raises respect. He only looked me up once and I'd raised his limps.

What's your strategy here as the level just started? Only 5 minutes, but 10 when you consider that the next level was just the introduction on the t25 ante and our stacks relative to normal 3-handed Turbo strategy.

That's just for these specific players in their positions, but reverse the positions. What's your approach? And what if there's a more "tricky math pusher" on an end?

Going over the HH:
On the button:
I raised about 2 of 3 orbits and got fold-fold all but one time where "postflop ninja" called and check/folded a nasty lo flop.

In the SB:
I raised 3x to open a good amount and never got called. There were 3 times when I had the limper, twice I raised 3.5x (once with AJs and another with 99) and the other I folded rags.

In the BB:
I wasn't tricky at all when he completed and never pushed out of push/fold status.

I got burned with AK when I pushed Postflop Ninja all in after he min. raised with 4's and lost 2k. Tighty-Pants took him out and Heads Up was a 1-hand-duel when I open-pushed for about 2400 with T8s and Tighty-Pants called with A8. gg.
