This is from the start of Day 3. I will add information on the hand in subsequant posts..
Apprix 100 players remain. Chip Average is about 100k.
I started the day with 90k but have chipped up early, I have been extremely active, raising and 3betting alot (it is a very good table) I haven't lost a hand in the first level and a half and I'm upto about 170k. Blinds are 500-1000/100.
I am sb, Devilfish is the bb.
I have quite an interesting relationship with Devilfish. He teases me relentlessly about virtually everything. I think he sees me as overly aggressive and a bit of a nutter. However he obviously thinks I have some ability as he has bought some of my action on a couple of occasions.
He has had an amazing start to the day. He has been given two double ups on a platter and is now one the chip leaders in the tournament with nearly 400k.
He has totally avoided playing a pot with me so far, but has just been moaning about me raising the button on his sb three times.
It is folded to me on and I have QTo.
What should I do?

Yep I'm never passing... Devilfish has the power to spew chips easily to you in many spots...

D'oh. I just checked the structure and I got the blinds wrong.. apologies.
It was 1000-2000/300.
The stacks are correct though.

In a vacuum I would agree, raising is the best option.
But I fancied Devilfish might well 3bet me very wide as he had just been moaning about noone standing up to me and me stealing his blind liberally. I hadn't shown a hand to this point.
So I made up the blind and he checked..
Flop came over AJ8 with 2 spades.
Hero?

Sorry misread the op. Thought we were button having raised his sb 3 times previously. I was thinking of giving him a break. As we are actually SB to his BB I now fold but slightly quicker. |

I like calling pre. On the flop I think c-calling is best because the turn card can give you lots of different stories to tell whereas leading the A-high board lacks credibility and leaves you vulnerable to being played back at now or on later streets.

this is the problem with completing pre. Dave knows you are a tricky player so knows, limp/raising limp/calling a big hand in the sb is in your locker, therefore id guess he would check his option with a lot of rag aces, leaves us guessing all hand, cause he likes to get tricky himself.

I have a feeling we're about to get in to a rather large hole here.
With our outs I think c/c is the best play on this flop.
Thankfully with the flat pre we're not getting involved in a big pot.
I'd be a bit cautious of Mr Fish laying a trap here with Ax though and looking at strangling 3 streets of value out of us.
If we check call to the river I'm not looking at bluffing when we miss.
