    4 handed, 2nd and 3rd pay 1435, 1st ships the seat. I was very tight early but had won the previous four pots and had taken the chiplead. I started on Step 3, and had made it to Step without a loss, my Sharkscope stats are good but much lower stakes, in case he takes that into account.

    I think its definitely +EV to fold there, if you end up stacking off you will trade off CL for short stack with the villain; also, his 3 bet looks really strong considering its like 1/3 of his stack and the blinds still have to act. I really don't think that you should create a big pot with 66, wait for a better spot whilst the shorter stacks ko each other.

    what was your intention raising? did you want to play a big pot? I'm guessing no, and you most probably just wanted to pick up blinds and antes with what is most probably the best made hand....but, now you're most probably flipping at best, probably time to fold and keep chipping up uncontested pots, and or getting all the chippies in with a monster...just my two cents, GL....

    <span><span>Result was I folded, got it in against the same guy blind on blind with AQ v (you guessed it) 66, lost flip and bubbled when AJcc couldnt hold against J2 to get back to 10K</span></span>

    Sucks cause I sattied into the PCA on my first shot last year (33 super turbo rebuy), and took 13th for 105K. Thought the bahamas was my good luck charm.....
