This may be entirely standard and an uninteresting hand but I'm just curious what people think. With how short I'm sitting, is a strong line like this the best play? No real reads.

With all the preflop action, should I bet more on this flop generally? I try to make it look weak c-bet-ish sometimes when the flop looks this safe, hoping to get a hand like JJ/TT/99 to raise/shove. Should I shove turn? I left just under 20 in my stack with the $25 bet.

Overall this is probably a standard line for me with this hand/stack size.

bet more on the flop and more on the turn, you want all your money in the middle asap. Leaving $20 after the turn means you let flush draws off the hook for $20 when they wiff. Shoving lets them make the mistake of calling w/ their draw.

Pot the flop, shove turn.

Being short gives you the advantage of not having to worry about pot control as much as if you are deep. Therefore, when you think there is a good chance you are ahead you should really push your edge.

In a pot this size, when no one has shown any strength, try to get it in by the turn.

Bet the pot on the flop, and push the turn. If button likes to bet when checked to, a c/r on the turn might be appropriate as well.
