I think preflop is pretty questionable. As far as on the flop raise/folding the initial bettor would make this decision much easier. I see A4 at the bottom of his shoving range, and even if he is shoving combos like AsKc, we are only slightly ahead. Muck this fairly quickly IMO.

Preflop is fine with your stacks.

The flop decision boils down to whether or not KcXx is in his range. He's obv capable of doing this with AxXc, a baby flush, and possibly, but a bit less likely, a set. Merge these together and you've got a call at hand. Add KcXx, and you've got a fold IMO.

snap call, see top pair + flush draw, cry when club hits or board pairs.

Edited: I also think you'll see a scared set played this way alot.

i tend to pitch this pre too, but w/e. I can't see myself ever folding now though. hit the 4 on the turn just to be safe.

I don't know if I agree w/ the logic that cards magically become playable preflop with deeper stacks. Sure, we can take a bit the worst of it pre if we can expect to make it up post, but the deeper stacks are, the more important position becomes to getting value. Particularly w/ a hand that gets a lot of its value from draws, I think position is pretty important to whether or not the hand is playable. It's close in this spot, but I think fold is better.

Call flop shove obv.

You are right about position being an important factor, but despite being OOP I think we have enough implied here if our opponents are fairly loose post. I once heard from a HU SnG grinder that what separates the pros from the regulars is how they play OOP...

Im not sure about my pre flop call but i dont think its a big mistake really, maybe slightly -EV but no much. Anyway, i convinced myslef he had some KcXx hand and called, obv up against flush and dont hit my 4outer.

FMP. I must have been pretty blazed to swap fold with call, vice versa
