Villain is a "creative" reg who is an OK winner on PTR, but who is probably overaggressive and bad in some spots. I'm not sure if he is a 2p2er, but I don't think so.

So when I 3b, I was about 99.9995% sure I was going to get 4b with these stack sizes. My 5b sizing was tricky because I knew if I made it too small he would call with any two, but I wanted to still make it small enough that he could shove AJ or or click it back with garbage thinking he had fold equity. So I was trying to balance the desire that he either fold or raise, basically.

I have 5b shoved in these spots before, but frankly I thought it made my hand look a little too much like it was. I obviously don't 3b here all the time either.

On the flop I was torn between shoving, check calling, or check folding. I guess betting small is OK here too, I definitely do induce from some weak draws. But I'm pretty sure he is betting or shoving with draws when checked to anyway. Also I lean toward wanting to check given how aggressive he is, I probably should be checking most of my range here including the strongest part.

I'm not sure what he thinks of me, we've definitely tangled before and I do think he knows that I can be 5b bluffing here some times vs him. I run 15/12 or so, and probably have the image of an occasionally spazzy tag?

5bet shove?

Yeah like I said it's something I do sometimes, at what point do you stop 5b shoving here? 150bb or so?

Just shove, you're not even deep. Most of your range is going to play better in these positions with those stack sizes.

shove pre. You're not that deep.

Your 3b should be bigger and your 5b should be a shove.

But given the line that he took pf, what is the recommended flop play? Is this an auto-flop shove? Or bet $80 and call shove?
