Busted on this hand during UKIPT Brighton 1k Main event n was wondering if i overplay my hand here:

Stacks
Hero: 83k
Villian: 150k

Blinds: 800/1600 100 Ante on 9 handed table

Hero: utg

I opened UTG for 4200 and it got folded to the BU, Sam Grafton. He's a fairly active player especially in position. He had 3bet me a bunch and I had folded and 4 bet an equal amount imo.

He 3bets to 10,500. My thinking was that he probably 3bets about 15-20% here on my EP raise. I know that's a bunch but he IS that aggressive. I didn't like cold call cuz he c-bets pretty much 100% of his range on any board texture. Also, havn to call down at least 2 barrels OOP wasn't something i was too comfy with.
Now, 4 bet didnt seem like a very good option because to get him to fold IP with the stack sizes being very deep id hav to 4bet nearly 30k? or could I min 4 bet/fold to like 19? Whats he folding out here IP to a small 4bet with such implieds and position?

3rd option was folding to the 3bet...didn't really like that either as I knew he was 3betting a bunch and it seemed so weak to just muck.

And last option was to 4bet shove, which is what I did. I think hes folding out up to JJ, AQs type of hands here for half his stack or would he call alot wider here? If so maybe I should just fold to the small 3 bet? Seems so weak though

Outcome aside (ran into QQ), is this just a fairly high variance spot and I got the worst of it or am I overplaying my hand here with about 50BB deep.

thoughts?

What do you had? You didnt write...

You opened 4,2k. It is ok, i like to open 3,6-3,8k here but it depends on the table.

Aggresive guy with history 3bet IP against UTG open. I dont think he 3bet light you there with loose range (you wrote about 15-20%, its to much for me against utg open) but ok, maybe he could do this with this dynamic, history etc...

Action is back to you. Shove here is very bad whatever you had in this situation. Theres no need to invest all your tournament stack with 50bbs effective here. You can easily 4bet here to 20-22k if you have very strong holding and you want him to shove (but i would call with KK-AA in this situation and play with him postflop) or if you had bad holding and want him to fold because you think that he 3bet you with air.

Shove here is weak and doesnt make much sense to me.

we dont know what ur hand is (i guess TT or AK, AQ)
any way
- i go for smaler open to 3600
- if u just call, pot on flop will be ~23k -> u check he will bet ~18-20k if u call it is same as u 3 bet him preflop to 30k and fold to a shove (but this way us see 4 cards) and u have like pot size bet on turn left behind, so imo no need to feel uncomfortable with ur reads to call and check /call standard Cbet on flop (u say that he has wide 3 bet range and he Cbets almost 100% on any board texture)
- if i go for 4 bet i go for 24-25k in this spot (so u can have little bigger stack then pot on flop and u can shove if u hit nice draw etc)
