90 BI is not a shorty.

Reads are important here but I'm assuming he's a donk if he has 90 BI. This is fine, betting isn't awful either

90BB shorty? probably just forgot to rebuy...
this is fine imo, but i cant fold 2 OCs and gutshot... c/ring has no fold equity, c/c sucks in general so id just put him all in

All things being equal - bet this flop especially after 4b. 2 overs and a GS and a BDFD, yeah, I'd be prepared to felt this.

You commited yourself preflop.

Put him all in on flop - you have overcards, gutshot and runner flush.

Anyone prefer to just call pf? What about shoving?

I don't know what situation would make me want to just call preflop, but I'm certain this isn't it. Shoving preflop is kinda meh, really the same thing as 4betting. Either way I shove this flop all day.

i think you played it fine up untill the flop. I really don't care to surrender the pot given we got a semi favorable flop in a 4bet pot and we've got a third of our stack in.
