Nicky, my spidey senses tell me the villian and hero roles could well be reversed for the purposes of this post.

However, I really think hero should just shove preflop. Plus, if you are confident that you are ahead on this flop and part of the reason you flatted pre was to allow button to c - bet 100% of his range on 100% of flops I prefer just CRAI to donking into him.

For me, there is little need to be getting overly tricky with 20 BBs. On a simple level, you aren't always going to have AK when you want to play back at an aggressive late position stealer. Your range for defending should be quite wide and deciding to play the higher part of your range for playing back here in a specific // non - standard fashion to maximise value or whatever is going to be quite exploitable in the long term.
