Poker Stars, $0.02/$0.05 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

SB: $8.20 (164 bb)
BB: $5.92 (118.4 bb)
UTG: $8.08 (161.6 bb)
Hero (MP): $5 (100 bb)
CO: $6.49 (129.8 bb)
BTN: $3.73 (74.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A

UTG folds, Hero raises to $0.15, 2 folds, SB raises to $0.50, BB folds, Hero calls $0.35

Flop: ($1.05) 4

(2 players)
SB bets $0.76, Hero ?

What do you think is more profitable here? Calling or shoving?

I assume shoving, in case we beat out chops?

You are right, raising or shoving is definitely better than calling, however Raising > pushing

I would make it to 2.5

Why is that so? Doesn`t seem like that`ll give him an option to bluff shove, since his fold equity anyway will be near zero ..

Raising looks a bit stronger, but shoving seems also fine to me. Not much of a difference anyway, our shove is kind of semibluff and if we raise here we don't plan to fold at all.
