I have one question about how this hand was played. Would it be better to bet something like 2$ on the flop instead of going direcly all-in? I just thought that villian maybe would call/reraise instead of folding with TP/middlepair/draw more often then when they are facing a shove. Could this be more profitable in the long run? Should I do something like this or should I just play the same way in simular situations?
