He was 19/16 over 88 hands.

How is preflop?
What to do on flop?
Cbetting will commit us, pushing is quite expensive but better than betting I think.
What about checking?

I don't raise so much preflop. Make it 500 to go, that's plenty.

As played, against a player with those sorts of stats, I don't even bother c-betting. Button's flat call looks very very much like a trap with a monster hand, if he has stats like 19/16 then we can make an assumption that he knows how to play and would never call off more than 25% of his stack preflop unless he's trapping.

I would limp behind pf with the big stack in first. We're in great position based on the 2 shorties, not looking to build a pot here.

Taipan, a deep 19/16 could have done this fairly wide. I'm betting like 850. Could be KQ,KJ,QJ,Ax,77 or lower.

preflop raise is wayy to big. i probably make it between 350 and 400. but when the button calls you your kinda fcked b.c. now your playing the hand oop. with stack sizes i probably wouldnt cbet that flop and just fold to a bet.

as played, w/ stack sized im playing this hand allin... probably bet 1200 on flop anc call a shove
