I don't really like the 3x raise preflop.

Postflop looks ok, shove after he raises turn.

Really? Why don't you like the 3x raise?

I just prefer a smaller raise, 2.5x here is more than enough.

Do you just always fall back to 2.5x at this blind level, or do you switch it up? I've been trying to balance 2x, 2.5x, 3x depending on hands/position, do you have a lot of experience with this?

I do mix it up personally, but never as large as 3x at this blind level.

You need to raise this much to isolate limpers. Keeping the SPR as big as possible leaves you with more options. Were you planning on shoving the river if it was a blank and bb called the turn?

The 2.5x-3x raise size is debatable, but I'm fine with either at this level.

Let's talk about turn, shall we? I'm shoving here vs 99% of players. He can have a ton of weird two pair combos, top pairs, pair + straight draws, pair + flush draws, etc. We can't squarely put him on AK/K9/sets.
