Board is pretty dry on the flop. I would most likely bet around half pot, but it depends on the villains you dealing with. Even if you bet around 9k it's not to difficult to get your stack in the middle on the river if 1 player would call you.

Bet flop smaller if you want to split betting to three streets which would be fine on rainbow flop. If planning for two street then bet like 13k. But main issue of this hand is preflop call as you are way too shallow to set mine versus such big open raise.

Just fold then? His stack is too deep for 3-Bet shove pre with 55 isn't it?

Yeah I would fold most of time. Only exception would be with good read that villain opens 3bb with wide range. Even then it's likely marginal at best to shove. Call is never profitable option really.

Even versus minraise set mining would be marginal.

why do we call this pre? Is this just the position? I think we are to short to call for setvalue call15-20.
