100NL: Ugly River
 

Villain is ~26/3/2. Button is a total station. My image is TAG, if anything. I probably should raise this PF, but I hate building a pot with A9 OOP against the button since he's shortstacked and a station. Is c/c the river better than shoving, or do I lose too much value from Ax?

I think it depends on if you think villain would call 2 streets with a naked ace (or A-3 timidly). I'd probably c/c here as any random 6 might raise you and leave you in an awkward spot.

Given that the villain only has a PSB behind, I like to just put him in. I think you get more weak calls from stationy short stacks than river bluffs. I don't know that it makes a whole heck of a lot of difference in the long run, though.
