Default PL 2-7 3bet shove or slow down?

Triple Draw 2-7 Lowball Pot Limit ($0.25/$0.50) (converter)

Hero ($62.55), Seat 1
BB ($74.90), Seat 2
UTG ($43.65), Seat 4
CO ($14.05), Seat 5
Button ($9.60), Seat 6

Button at Seat 6.
Hero posts $0.25. BB posts $0.50.

Hand: [Td 2d 6s 4h Ks]

Round 1: ($0.75)

<font color="green">UTG calls $0.50. </font><font color="green">CO calls $0.50. </font><font color="green">Button calls $0.50. </font><font color="green">Hero calls $0.25. </font><font color="green">BB checks. </font>
Hero discards Td Ks. BB takes 2. UTG takes 2. CO takes 3. Button takes 2.

Hand: [2d 6s 4h 7d 5c]

Round 2: ($2.50)

<font color="red">Hero bets $2.40. </font><font color="#666666">BB folds. </font><font color="red">UTG raises to $9.60. </font><font color="#666666">CO folds. </font><font color="#666666">Button folds. </font><font color="red">Hero raises to $31.20. </font><font color="green">UTG calls $21.60. </font>
Hero stands pat. UTG takes 1.

Hand: [2d 6s 4h 7d 5c]

Round 3: ($64.90)

<font color="red">Hero bets $14. </font><font color="green">UTG calls $11.95 (all-in). </font>
Hero stands pat. UTG stands pat.

Hand: [2d 6s 4h 7d 5c]

Round 4: ($88.80)

No action, HU w/all-in.

Total pot: ($88.80)

The multiway limped pot was kind of odd, most pots were being HU or 3way with a small raise. I didn't have anything on UTG.

After I catch the #4, I decided to bet rather than c/r as I probably get more money from 8s, and a check around would be awful. When he raises should I reraise or just call? If I call it would basically be as a slowplay, discourage him from breaking an 8. I'd CR allin the next round if it went pat/pat. I assume with the pot size this early in the hand I can't get away from the hand even if I just call?

If I made any other errors feel free to tell me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Shove. I don't have the heart to fold if we check and he pushes behind us, which he only will if we're behind. However, he will likely call with #'s 5-9. Also, you need to lead with #4 on round 2. Its pretty unlikely anyone will bet behind you, but people will call PSB's drawing dead here.

However, if we were much deeper I would fold to a 4 bet AI on round 2.

Looks good to me. I don't think reverse freezes will work very well in big-bet TD, so slowplaying OOP seems like a bad idea.
