    This is tougher. He seems fairly loose, so maybe it's a call... I don't think he's only pushing JJ+/AK, so you've probably got odds... you'll see him on a pair you beat some of the time, and a coin flip most of the time. Of course, you would have preferred that he'd just folded pre, lol.

    Play to win. You'll he's obviously quite bad with those stats and he's 3-betting a reasonable amount. You'll see AQ, KJ and even 99 here enough to call. Then you have a pretty big stack deep into the tourney.

    I lean towards a call here. Villain is way too aggro and is probably hoping you won't make a decision for all your chips so close to the bubble so you should have a slight edge on his range.

    Also I think the best thing villain could do right now is back off for a while and reduce his 3bet range down to JJ+,AK (assuming his 3bet range was previously wider) given the image he's created for himself. When saying that I'd call what I'm really saying is that I don't think he's capable of changing gears like this.

    Don't open to 4bb in the first place imo.

    This seems like a pretty easy call, I wouldn't even think about folding

    Im playing TT how HoH v1. advocates playing them, I did call and the guy showed AJ and needless to say hit an Ace on the flop.

    Harrington doesn't realize TT is drawing dead vs. Ax in online poker. Fold pre.

    Why don't you raise 4xBB when the antes almost addng an extra BB into the pot? I always thought you needed to increase your raise to 4BBs to make it about a pot sized raise. I just read Gud Hansen's book about when he won the Aussie Millions and he always opened for 3BBs regardless of whether antes were in or not but the logic was never explained.
