would you cbet that? if yes than what would be its size? after he pushes over it would you call? im getting 26% chip odds and having two overs + backdoor draws i have probably around 30% equity (the scenarios when im in fact ahead or he has blockers/two pair or better balance each other out i guess), im not very risk averse because of my stack so maybe i should have called?

any other ideas on how to play this one?

another idea is to use a 2.25bb open raise in such spots to make the decision easier on the flop.

2.25bb raise pre is a good idea
I don't think I cbet this flop with these stack sizes.. i'm not really sure though because giving up here seems a bit weak.


yeh raising smaller pre will help with these awkward stack sizes. i think you have to just cbet/call the flop with villain being this short. we are getting 3:1. overcards + back door hearts + backdoor straight. and we could have the best hand he definitely has flush draws in his range (all of which we are ahead of unless they are paired)
