Hey all,

I've had a doubt how to proceed in heads up situations and usually I prefer to be the bb, because, my decision is shortened for fold, call or shove.
In this situation I completed the blind but I think the best option is to open raise and have the cbet option to lead the action and got a % of fold to cbet from villain.
Or should I shove?

I normally shove this hand preflop, you will get calls from worst hands and avoid though decision postflop. But if you see that he is passive, call isn't bad, when you connect with the flop you will have most times a great hand and position.

If the BB is tight you can also consider to min raise and fold to a shove, but that’s villain depended. Shoving is +ev for sure.

12.5bb deep this is a min raise/call for me unless i play against a very tight opponent
As played he can easily have a Tx there. Dont see any Ax, good Kx, KQ, QJ , TJ or PP as he should just shove them preflop.
I bet this around 1/3 (300) of the pot for both pot control and value, probably fold to a shove.
