Another hand from my PS $20 180 person final table
 

Down to 3. SB has been tight throughout, but recently either made a good play on me, or I made a mistake and has come into some chips. BB plays lots of hands, is aggressive, but hasn't been spewing chips lately (he tried earlier many times and sucked out, thus all his chips). People not folding to my steals as much as earlier and no idea whether they have cards or not, so I got somewhat confused.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t4000 (3 handed) converter

SB (t83940)
BB (t107747)
Hero (t78313)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t12000</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t8000.

Flop: (t20400) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t12000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t24000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???

i think you have too much hand to fold, and you don't want to let draws get away if they miss the turn, so i'd jam here. if villain was not described as aggro, it'd be tougher. if he has KQ, try to hit an A/K/T.

Re: Another hand from my PS $20 180 person final table
 

I thought a jam was pretty obvious myself, but just double checking my line considering the whole FT, top 3 thing was new to me. Also, should I post the end results here, or do people not really care?

I felt like a real donk when I pushed here actually. My table image had been super tight, so obviously my range here is AK AQ or high PP from early position.

Villian hand in white:

Newbie, I think you posted in wrong place. Either way, I still think your AK push was bad [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

A couple other questions regarding this.... is a K6o OK to steal with 3-handed? Reads aside, what type of hands would most people call/re-raise with from the BB in this situation?

i'd say K6 is around the bottom of what you want to steal with. their ranges will depend a ton on how much you've been openning (or they should).

Re: Another hand from my PS $20 180 person final table
 

OK, well this all seems pretty standard then. My biggest surprise wasn't that villian in the BB had the T here, but rather that I wasn't re-raised pre-flop with AT. Thanks anyway for the help.

Re: Another hand from my PS $20 180 person final table
 

just out of curiosity, what is your range on the button when 3 handed?

Re: Another hand from my PS $20 180 person final table
 

Does anyone check the flop here?

Try to induce a bet by a worse hand.

If he has an A or a PP we are only risking 2 or 3 outs. This pot has 24000 + 2000 + 3 ante ~ 27k in it. And our heros stack is new 55k.

I open alot of pots. So I never feel like checking is a huge tell when I do it...but if you're tighter it might not help.

Re: Another hand from my PS $20 180 person final table
 

If you are asking me, most of my experience is in SNGs when the stack/blind ratios are much different. It's really hard to say and depends a lot on who is there with me and table image. K6 was a bit loose for me in this case, but folded on button the previous 3 orbits as my cards had been rather horrendous and was annoyed at watching everyone else steal and I wanted to do it too. Obviously, just bad timing for me in this one.

Re: Another hand from my PS $20 180 person final table
 

I had been pretty loose in my stealing throughout, but had been generally throwing out continuation bets most of the time. I was afraid that a check by me might look more suspicious than anything here. If anything, I thought me betting this board might induce a re-raise bluff attempt in which case I could clean up. I really don't think that I could get away from the pot once I hit the K though. Could anyone else?
