well youre in a tough spot because at 25-35bb effective stack sizes the momentum goes to the open raiser. main reasons are a) you cant really3b/fold as we risk a big chunk of our stack and b) we dont have good IO's to flat IP QTs, spr's are low if we want to make moves postflop we're instantly committed ect. so no leverage for us but plenty for him.
so usually we have to play very tight in such situations.

vs this guy whos seems a) splashy and b) not folding to aggression, just widen your value range. ATs becomes an easy 3b/call etc. and if hes that splashy were obviously flatting QQ+ pre ^^.

3b shoving 30bbs vs a 100% opening range is obv +ev but i think its too risky, plus theres always a chance a guy behinds wakes up with a hand and in such a case 30bbs are reallllly a big shove. better to wait and get paid off. you cannot always flop nothing ^^. plus, 30bbs is not that of a shallow stack (unless structure is really fast) so just be patient, play tight, talk to him and keep him as loose as he is Tongue.

If I was Rob, I would let him have that one and would then keep pounding away. If he keeps doing it then fair enough, put the 4 bet in. This creates the dynamic for calling off light.  However, this is the first time OP had 3 bet and he gets it stuck in his eye. I'd have thought Rob was crushing AT, or am I thinking a level short here?

Thanks everyone for the advice.It was a tough spot and have come to the conclusion that I should have shown a little more aggression earlier in the level to avoid being targeted and eventually feeling totally owned.As the level continued confidence drained which is another lesson when playing live and 'in game'. Hope to see some of you soon.
