So, which line is better: shove or 4bet smaller? I would put myself in awkward spot, If one of them calls and I miss the flop. I guess, shoving is the way to go.

Hey Dienaszaglis,

Shoving is fine. 4betting small is also ok. Just because you miss flop doesn't necessarily mean you can fold overs in 4bet pot.

Flatting probably my preferred option. You keep opponents range as wide as possible and play in position with a higher SPR. Also SB is relatively unknown and could potentially be strong, BB just cold-called 3bet and could also be quite strong. Unless you expect to generate a lot of fold-equity with a 4bet you are probably just getting the money in flipping a whole bunch.
