I'm trying to play more of these SnGs without stats just so I can concentrate more on the hand reading, so none for this one.
Meta:
-Villain is very aggressive, prone to running pretty big multistreet bluffs on weak outs, willing to get it in with a primary draw with 35bb effective for a 4bb pot. Vpip at least 65%, I'd guess. This is the 3rd of 4 matches we played. He was snapcalling 4x 3bets with K4o and stacked vs my nines when he spiked a K.
-My image is similar but tighter, I've mostly been sandbagging him and taking some small pots with decent equity. I have shown one air-bluff in a smaller pot.

His flop minbet is the first I've seen so far, so it's somewhat suspicious. I didn't think I had any reason to be afraid of the Q, and put him on a wide range of draws, one possible over. Underpair, maybe even undercards.
T9 gets there on the turn, and I'm wondering if I should ever fold here against this vill. I know he's capable of shoving any primary draw or better here, possible pair + gutshot.
What do you think of my line?
Also, I think I'm way ahead of his 3bet-calling range, and it makes my decisions easier postflop, but a 370-470 raise pf would commit me. I think if I shove the range he calls me with is heavily skewed towards hands that are ahead of mine. Weaker kings down to KT maybe, I think his threshold might even be higher than QJ.
I'm actually flipping against that range, so in retrospect, not raising KJ against his pf minraising range was a mistake.

If you think that villain is prone to making big multi street bluffs, I like calling down better than raising. When you raise think about what worse hands are going to call you. I would think that in a SnG that is more important than being able to fold out better hands, which at this point in the match maybe you fold out AJ. The question is, could he call w/ worse? Maybe a fd + gustshot calls at this level. But, I'd say you are not gonna get called by worse all that often. So, I think a check call line is best here against an aggressive player. I'd prob. call a river bet as well if everything blanks out, but I'm sure that is highly debatable.

Thanks for your help.
Although I'm still wondering, would you agree with the last statement/paragraph in my original post?
not raising (raise-call or shoving) KJ against his pf minraising range was a mistake.

well, if he was snap calling 3 bets w/ K4o, then I'd be inclined to get in here pf as well. So yeah, i'd say a 3 bet/call would be good as well. Being that you are 20bbs deep, then I think you can widen his ai range here. The only thing I don't like is that you are ahead in the match and I think you will be able to get in w/ better equity down the road instead of flipping your KJ v. something that is slightly ahead most often, crushed less often and way ahead even less often.
