Hero ??

I included everyone's chip stack because I thought it was important to our decision to open preflop instead of jam preflop. Lot's of reshove sized stacks out there.

On the flop, I don't think we can do anything but bet, and something between 1200-1500 should be enough I would think. If we're assuming villian doesn't do this as a bluff as a baseline to start from, his range is something like (77,55,KQs,QJs,AhJh,KhJh,AhTh,JhTh,KQo). I included 55 and 77 because opponents at this level will definitely setmine in poor spots. We're terrible against this range (14%). But, if we add like bluffs from 66,88,and non-heart KJs, we're 43.4%. Is it a stretch to think villian does this with enough bluff combos knowing it puts our AK, AJs, 99-JJ in a tough spot? If we're opening 99+, AQo+, AJs+, this is about half of our hand combos.

Would rip pre sometimes, depending on villains at table, my recent image/dynamic etc. After opening, heavy range check for me, depending on villain might be betting tptk+ and usually bet Kxhh types.
As played, vill dependent, if I jam or fold

I'm jamming pre sometimes too, but i thought the stack sizes merited an open.

Are we just check/calling flop & c/folding turn in that scenario? I'm not a fan of checking flop just because I feel like we're inducing more bluffs in a spot that is hard to call down multiple streets in due to stack size. If we check I feel like we have to check call more than one street because the increased likelyhood villian bets with a worse hand. If I know villian flats a lot pre with questionable stack sizes and bets a lot when checked to, then i'd be more inclined to check I guess.

Pre depends but mostly jamming with everyone shortstacked
I'm checking flop with the fd-blocker blocker
As played looks like a sigh fold w/o good reads
