    Standard play.

    Lots of equity even vs a range that includes some 2p hands? Check.
    Lots of fold equity vs SB range? Check.
    Short stacked? Check.

    Nothing you could have done differently here.

      That one is a bit tougher. If the BTN was limping a lot it's a clear shove pre. If he hasn't been limping and he limps here, it could be because he's trying to induce you to shove. I'm likely shoving here regardless.

      As played, again, nothing wrong with a flop shove here. You want to be the one shoving, not waiting for action. You have a lot of equity here, too.

      I wouldn't shove that hand only because BTN has a massive stack and may call you light to bust you with hands like marginal Aces and better Kings.

      Flop shove is fine but be prepared that you will get called in spots like that for 2 reasons: 1) what I said above; and 2) shoving that flop basically turns your hand over because it makes it pretty obvious you have a draw.

        No, if he shoves that's a fold.

        Even if he's on a draw, it's probably something like K5 or K2 which has you totally crushed.

        Even if he check-raises you to 3x, it's generally a fold, since you're unlikely to realize your implied odds even if you do hit the flush on the turn with him being short stacked. This is a bet/fold situation.

        Hands 1/2 seem fine. Hand 3 is a fold pre but flop bet is good.

        Hand 3 is me tryng to play looser because of the bigstack. I tend to be a nit. I went too far? I raise a hand like that 1 of 5 o 6 times when I have a big stack from MP. BTN I do it 100% if I don't feel I will get a 3b

        I feel like when you have chips, the way to keep them high is founding spots where villains have TPTK or 2Pairs and you suck them with better hands.
