$11: ITM - small PP's / small blinds

[vers]

raise to 500 is good. If you c-bet then that's another 500-700, leaving u with like 1/3 of your chips invested. So if the flop comes like Kxx and u bet and he crai, you can still fold, so it's a decent option. Not so sure you want to shove with 15x the BB, seems like too much. If you had 2000 then I'd open shove, otherwise small raise. It's not so bad if u raise and they shove, you just muck and lose 1/6 of your chips.

Losing 1/6 to 1/3 of our stack isn't something to be taken lightly.

I'm sure pushing and raising are both +EV, so it's just a matter of which one is more so. I push here.
