    I'm not satisfied with this play and want some strong players' advice as to equity that I have in this spot. How should I approach this situation in the future?

    Scenario: Final Table $22 30k. We had just gone 4 handed and I was the smallest stack @ 660K. Blinds were 20k/40k ante 4k. UTG and Button fold. I raise my standard amount with 22. Should I be looking to fold to any 3 bet/shove? Even if the player has appeared to be changing gears to be more aggressive? Any thoughts would be great.

    in a vacuum open ship is best here with 22 (im open shipping most my range bvb with 16bbs)

    however if you have a read (and you should have some sort of read by now on the FT) hes quite aggro, and will defend his blind by raising if you limp, I think a limp/reshove could be quite sexy here... very player dependent though and in most cases open shove would be optimal
