Re: preflop spot, maybe standard

The button is a smart guy, he has some idea that I might be keen to play a big pot here, and he raised knowing that. So I expect he wants to play a big pot as well. I shoved and he repotted for €1380. Everyone got out of the way so I got HU for €370 each with €270 in dead money. This would be pretty good if I was playing on the blind but better than that, I have a double suited hand with some straight potential, I am in great shape.
Even if one or more other players come along I'm still in OK shape, but I'm pretty sure I should prefer to play against just one opponent with so much dead money. Given the circumstances (nearly the end of the night, none of the other players are stuck) I thought this was the most likely outcome.

Eh. This whole thing reeks of one of those marginal gambl-y plays that are definitely not max-e.v., but which you should throw in every once in a while anyway.
