Live Tournament Hand

[Raman]

First post on PHA so go easy, but just looking to check how I played a hand in a local comp a few weeks back as its been annoying me ever since.

Level 3 of a £40 game, in which we have a jackpot as well. 

Hero playing tight has 14k from 10k starting stack
Villain playing about 6500.

Good guy  in cut-off makes it 450 @ 100/200 and the SB 3b to 1500.  We have AKo and we do a dwell, and then 4b to 5100 intention is to put the villain at risk for tourney life. 

Previously we had seen the villain play JJ like he was scared of the hand and despite flopping a set he still mangled it and ended up with a chop when both players made broadway on the river.  He had also raise folded in a few other spots to give away 35% of his stack.

Stack size of opening raiser? Although I assume he folded.

Dont really like cold 4b vs someone whos 3b from the SB, rarely doing it lightly IMO.

I was the opening raiser to 450 from 14k.

The sb has circa 6500.

Generally OK I would say.

The four bet should be a shove I think (I assume it is just the two of you in the hand). You have bet around 80% of his stack so just get it in there and then.

You might get him to lay down a small/medium pair and are probably flipping if he calls. If he has AA or KK oh well, sometimes that does happen. You will still have a perfectly playable stack.

Agree about the shove although my intent was "lets play for stacks"

He took 2 minutes to call with kings before saying "if you have aces, oh well"   

Bit of a slowroll.

No real analysis to give imo. Standard tourney cooler. He's never passing and you shouldn't be either. Only difference is the shove rather than the rr, although still the same result.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I guess I was just wondering if I should have called the 3b and then managed to get away if I missed the flop.

This is a standard shove, even if both villains are pretty tight.

fwiw imo a fold is better than a flat call preflop to "get away" because when you miss all his bluff reraises still win the pot, and when you hit its hard for you win the rest of his chips.
