Default Re: 6.50 - 55 on BTN with 13.5bb

raising to 375 and calling a shove is kinda teh suck b/c you're calling and getting in a race for sure. When you shove, villains will probably fold like a9 which might re-raise a 375 btn bet.

Also with your stack if you raise 375 and get flatted by BB, the pot will be like 800. You bet 500 get CRAI and probably have to muck leaving you with under 10 BB (also I think this destroys image by raising pre, cbetting flop and folding w/ close to 1/2 your stack in).

Shoving is +ev vs any reasonable calling ranges here, so it's good to take it when your hand plays very marginally post flop.
