We want to study our difficult spots. here we block AA QQ AK combos and we have the extra equity of suited cards.
What does your V shove vs EP open JJ? KK? AJs ATs. It is good to build a range that will help us better understand what to do in spots like this.
This large of a shove mostly gets folds as you folded this hand, so does the V want more folds than calls? Why?
How well do we do in the MTT if we double up here? How weak are our V? will it be easy for us to fold and get chips not taking flips or do we need to play these spots to run deep?

usually in tournaments we cannot guess how villain plays, and we dont have a history with them. i think its better to play safe.

V I didn't have much information, after a couple of hands I had 60/21 stats so it was a big fish, 34BB I played more cautiously but maybe it was a mistake, but a couple of hands later I pushed a QQ in and A3S called and the A came

Readless it's a good disciplined fold so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

If you manage to get a sense Vn has manic tendencies you can start to consider a call, but be mindful you are taking a gamble - consider factors: ICM (kicks in earlier than you'd think), your edge vs majority of players and how much opportunity to play you are getting (is it a shovefest?).

This is not a readless situation---human beings play very similarly to other humans Learning this and being able to estimate ranges for ACTIONS not HUD stats is an important skill to have. My first post indicates how to evaluate this situation and range your V. If you practice ranging these low HUD stat spots you will increase your success rate. Remember we have no Info that they are a nit so we cannot believe they have better hands only. Take the time to study difficult spots.(y)
