flop shove with mid pair
 

villain is LAG, often 3 betting light. i stacked him once already when he 3 bet a SC and went all in with it on the flop with just a FD and undercards. his range is very wide here, but i think i still could get him to fold anything lower than QJo (like A9, TT, JT, and most likely straight/flush draws etc..)

Umm, call?

Is pot standard for him? I probably call if I choose to raise 180 is way better than all in.

It seems you a little too deep here and a shove is awkward though by no means bad. His pot bet is annoying and will make it tough to call and play poker.. but I think that's what I'd usually do. 100bb's, I'd shove all day.

I don't get it, why not just call the flop? Or bet/call a push if you must. I think shoving gets us AI with the hands that have us killed, and gets the random draws we don't mind being AI against to fold.

It's more of 3 bet pot theory than specific to hu cash. If he's 3 betting light and betting heavy on the flop, we can be calling lighter and shoving hands with decent equity against his calling range because we'll have higher fold equity when his range is wider.

HU, it's a little more flow dynamic though and a shove against a decent player is a little more transparent. I would rather call here and play postflop.
