Poker Stars, $1.96 Buy-in (1,600/3,200 blinds, 400 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

SB: 324,043 (101.3 bb)
Hero (BB): 109,331 (34.2 bb)
CO: 95,850 (30 bb)
BTN: 248,064 (77.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K♠: T♦:
CO folds, BTN raises to 6,400, SB calls 4,800, Hero calls 3,200

Flop: (20,800) 4♥: 3♣: A♥: (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, BTN bets 10,400, SB raises to 26,624, Hero folds, BTN calls 16,224

Turn: (74,048) 9♣: (2 players)
SB bets 35,200, BTN folds

Results:

Spoiler

74,048 pot
Final Board: 4♥: 3♣: A♥: 9♣:
SB mucked and won 74,048 (40,624 net)
BTN mucked and lost (-33,424 net)

That was very close to final table, 8 players left.
BU is very active reggy player stealing with huge 49% with 133 hands sample, fold to 3bet - 40% but that was only 2 times of 5. SB was also reg with 50% fold to 3bet.

I feel like I have done the worst decision preflop by calling, as my hand does not play well postflop vs 2 opps.
I think the best play was 3bet for bluff here... If I do, what is the best sizing for that? I would make it to 8 BB.

Please share your opinion about this spot, what is the best play here preflop?

Cheers,
Juruliutas

If I would 3bet I would make at around 24k out of position and fold to a 4bet, but I don't think it's to bad to call for 1bb more. If you just call you play a small pot out of position and if you get called on a 3bet you are easy committed if you Cbet.

Flop play is off course standard.

Did a few calculations and 9bb seem to have the highest EV if you want to 3b. Flatting still have higher EV, that is not taking into account that you're gonna under realize equity in this spot, but calling seem to better at a large enough margin that I would expect it to be the bet move here.

Holdemresources - It takes a little manual editing of ranges at these blind depths because it's not taking post flop into account which also means you should be critical of the non-all-in "solutions".

You can use icmizer as well.

Personally I think at least HRC call feature is pretty useless as it does assume all hands checked to showdown. Maybe there is some merit in it but lot of issues.

KTo we should call or 3bet-fold. Both are reasonable. Hand has capability to flop lot of strong pairs and some draws. But also 3bet is nice with blockers and very active BU player and SB having capped range.
