If you bet bigger on the flop, isn't it harder to get away with your hand? Or would you then just call if villain 3bets, check turn and fold? I prefer a little over half pot sized bet on the flop, because I think it makes us look pretty strong here against 3 players, right? Correct me if I'm wrong

Hello!
I don't like much the way I played this hand, cause I think I really should have called this one. The villain was very aggressive, and took something like 80% of the pots he/she played. He took it down almost everytime before sohwdown, so I wasn't able to make any accurate decisions about his playing hands. But this one point I missed while playing, I saw it while replaying the tournament afterwards with HM: UTG limped and MP1 3BET to 3BB, then everyone folded to villain who was on the button and he shoved A3s. This QQ sitution is almost same than previous example.

After this one I was pretty card dead, and then I decided to open w JTs MP1 and two most loose players in the table called. Then BB donkbets on the flop while I hit the highest pair on the table, and yes, the same player6 is in the pot again. I thought my only option was shoving here, but didn't see that coming:

Could you please give me some arguments, how would you have played these hands? I'm not sure if I have managed to tune my HUD in proper way, so if u have some tips for tuning HUD specially for MTT's please let me know. Thanks already for answers! Grind it up guys!

Ok, thanks for replying. I think you are right about jamming pre. But which option do u think is better, to jam or fold? Our stack isn't so deep, and blinds are coming in next hand, so maybe tryin to double up now is better option than after blinds?

Isn't shoving with KQ UTG pre little too loose? My purpose was to collect blinds or play depending who takes a step against me. On the other hand i think KQ is pretty good to open here and A5-A9 should throw their cards away. Folding pre sound little too tight in endgame?
If I had 3BET all in on the flop, I see no way that villain would throw his/her cards away, even thoug shoving would be slighlt +EV on the flop.

My plan was at first to call on the flop and then jam if there wouldn't come another one spade, because I put villain on Asx. I also thought that I would fold if there comes another spade and villain bets small, but this jam made me thinking about bluffing. And of course it wasn't :D How would you have played this one? Any comments?
Thanks already!
How about your 4bet sizing on pre, what if u had bet something like 50k-55k and then just jam on the flop? I think your 4bet is quite small and it gives pretty good odds to call in position.
But I think this is pretty well played after all. Maybe I had just check/called the river, cause u barely get called with worse hand.
