I think this is a push/fold-situation, so I fold here
Most of the time, we will face an allin instead of a call

In general this is not.

You have a medium hand which would hate to be called or reraised so essentialy you're raising has a bluff and your cards do not really matter.

I'd fold here and probably push from button / SB (to be checked with SNGPT / WIZ ...)

this is clearly a push/fold spot. }
I would shove. I dont like the 2.5x pf here b/c your c-bet will be more than 30% of you stack, not to mention as mortimo said, most of the time you will be shoved on. Dont let two 22, 33, A2 or any other marginal hand think they can make you lay down by ahoving on you, take their move away from them. I can totally make a argument for folding also, as it is PROB the right play here, but I would shove here a lot.

Looks a little thin. It'd be nice to be a little later in position or suited. As played your c-bet is a pretty big chuck of your stack so I'd probably make a pot committed c-bet.

Am I the only one who doesn't dislike this line? 12-13bb is a pretty awkward stack to play. He has made a tiny preflop raise which the bb, who is 19bb deep may call somewhat liberally and made a non-pot committing c-bet on a dry flop. If called on the flop, hero can shut down if he doesn't turn a pair. And even if he folds, he has 7bb which is slightly uncomfortable, but more than enough to have folding equity when jamming preflop.

muck pre, you're too deep and too early to shove.
