There are 200 left in the 33$ Miniftops event 20 out of 12,000 runners. Still tons of soft spots (sound familiar?). Guy on my left is the best player, in my estimation, of my opponents. 

Big blind is playing 11/9/2 over 123 hands and is intent on blinding out. 

Small blind is playing 17/14/0 over 35 hands. 

BTN is playing 23/17/12 over 64 hands and has already three-bet me (and I folded quickly and painlessly) 2 orbits ago in CO v HJ. 

In the 64 hands BTN has seen, I have folded to four 3bets and four-bet all-in once w AKhh (won). I have been opening actively but not maniacally. They are playing 1 table, they went deep in a 55$ tournament on full tilt but busted that about 30 minutes before this hand. 

We get paid 184 now, no four-figures until last 27 (though I didn't know payouts at the time). Big money up top obv.

I kind of want to rip it.
