Won a ticket for this tournament in a freeroll, so sorry if this seems like a standard spot for you – I'm a cash game player

This hand occured shortly after the bubble ended with me comfortably sitting in ~40th position with ~130 people left. Each blind level lasted 20 minutes so I had a lot of time to exercise my edge.
This was a relatively new table and I didn't know that much about the participants of this hand. The bigstack that called me did leave an impression of being a bit on the more active side with a VPIP, PFR and 3Bet% of 53/38/14,3 after the first 16 hands.

Hi all,

No problem, that's what these forums are for. This is indeed a standard spot, and if the bigstack was trapping here well that's just unlucky! If he 3bet us we're not folding anyway :).

If the bigstack 3Bets, can we not fold? From what I had seen from the overall player pool in previous 2 hours or so at 2 different tables, there was not that much restealing going on, especially not MPvsUTG + I would assume that our bigstack friend isn't 3Betting AQ, let alone calling our 4betshove. Of course, both of the above mentioned scenarios are not impossible but surely they aren't some sort of a standard play for the average villain of these stakes? Are we really that happy getting it in there against a range of QQ+? Or am I overrating my opposition?

they'll be 3bet/folding easily often enough for us to get all our chips in.
