Hand from £95 BI VLV qualifier to £435 final.
From the other thread...
Weecheez: I was thinking more about your opponent I think there was still two or three players with lower stacks than him and it just seemed like a strange move at the time so I was thinking there must of been a bit of history
Me: Yes agree, they had open jammed my BB a few times though. There was no real history, I had taken some chips off him but was ahead on all streets etc. Im not sure about the shove. I should be folding almost everything in the spot and if he gets the fold he has 'probably/maybe' tied up a ticket.

The situation: We are down to 11 handed, 10 players get the £435 ticket. There is a 4800 chip stack and a 7k stack on the other table. I have 26k to start the hand with blinds at 400-800. The average stack is around 16k.
In all honesty I thought and think that this is an easy fold! I would be interested to hear if anyone thinks otherwise.
I was pretty sure I was light years ahead of this players 3bet shove range here and he had open jammed my BB several times. There is IMO no need to call here though. I am extremely likely to be getting the ticket and could probably even sit out (I wouldn't do that though).
My table image was probably average. I had been active but hadn't been caught out of line.
My thought process behind the call was that...
(a) He may be shoving stuff like Kx and Qx Jx etc that I am ridiculously far ahead of and I can just end it here.
(b) I wanted to grab a fresh coffee and watch stuff on Netflix.
Anyone think this actually was a call?
I definitely agree the correct play was to fold though and if I had other tables going or had 14-15k I would have folded.
Because I know I would call, I would bet bigger pre to reduce the amount of times someone comes over the top....
