I don't play this high, nor am I a HU specialist, but feels a bit spewy the first hand. You're only ahead of some smaller pair + fd hands when he stacks off, and the rest of the time you're crushed by a bigger overpair.

It's not better to just look for a somewhat reasonable flop to get it in where we have equity?

no, because if you are beat pre, you've got at least 33%. Waiting to ship on this flop means a lot of the time you're getting the majority of your stack in with ~16% equity. It's not the flop you're looking for.

Awkward spot, I like the flat pre your hand doesn't play well hot and cold but it def flops well and obv get it in when you hit a piece. Problem is 338hhx you have v little equity when called. I don't mind floating, there will be exactly a PSB on the turn and you can fold bad ones like hearts and aces. His stacksize is really just owning us here I don't mind just folding flop either. I try to ignore the whole first hand dynamic I get shown the goods just as often as it turns out to be some nutcase.
