This hand is very typical when I play mid-stack.
I'm confusing if it's profitable when shoving top pair with mid-stack. Sometimes I beat weak top pair, sometimes set beat me and sometimes I hold set then beat top pair.
Please advise how I can play those kinds of hand correctly. Bet/ fold is too weak IMO as many players at this limit bluff raising when I c-bet A high flop. Should I just call but at TURN, my stack is less than half as the pot and it's hard to play.
Your opinion please. Tks.
