$162 UBOC FT ATs 5handed

jdAA88

Just not sure about whether my play here was correct or not: utg is a decent player but has raise/folded with under 20bbs a few times: history with him is that I've restole about 4 times on him, the one time he called I had TT and he had 99, but regardless, he has 11bbs and is opening utg, so I guess I can assume he's almost never folding.
My point of posting this hand is like, 5-handed, with these stacks, is ATs too strong to fold here? Is it just a matter of stoving my hand against his opening range in-game?

Pre Flop: (t30000) Hero is BTN with T A
UTG raises to t40000, 1 fold, Hero ?

I think AT plays resonably well given your description.
Giving him any broadway and any PP your a flip.
Win and you are in great shape vs the other stacks.

Have you seen him open early and then fold?

yup, he has opened utg/ep and folded to 3bets a bunch of times since start of final table.

This is a bit wide for a stove, because hes not opening KJ, QJ, J10 but shoving these if hes playing. I think if you take these out of his range, and assuming he's never folding we dont have it.

Also considering the pay jumps from 1-5 are likely significant I can find better spots.

Conversely if you take this exact same spot with 15 or 10 left and the same stack sizes you have to push, because as Hobbes said, we have to compete.

Names of villains? Final table of a high BI UB tournament there has to be regs.

Meh, I wouldn't just assume that his range is more narrow than that right away. It comes down a lot to if the clickraise is standard for villain and if he usually shoves 11+ BB's as well as obviously his rfi%. For all we know he could be raise-calling K8 suited here since people won't be rejamming that many k's

Pretty sick. Idk, this is really read/game flow dependent. Does he have an open jamming range here? Aka has he ever open jammed yet? If he does then we can assume his range is nutted when he just mins with this stack. What's his c-bet %? I hate folding ATs to a min-raise . I'd def need really specific reads here though.
