I believe this is a pretty straightforward play, but would love to get some feedback on it.

Some questions:

  • Is it better to re-raise pre or just flat and play the post flop ?
  • Is the sizing of my re-raise pre good ?
  • Should I just shove pre ? :f_ugly:
  • Is there enough fold equity being the bigstack to place a Cbet of about half pot OTF ? _evil:

I would take the most easy approach against most likely a fish on the button and that’s shoving right away. Then he will most likely fold almost always and then you don’t get in any awkward post-flop situation out of position. If I raise than I would make it a lot bigger to 1k or so, because now he will call pretty much always I think.

Cheers,
