<font color="black"> I should raise a little more preflop, I know. I was wondering if it is profitable to c bet in this spot against shorties? They just joined the table, no reads, but shortstacks are known to stack on any pair so there is a possibility that with two of them, someone will push and I will have to call with my overcards+gutshot.</font>

if you are bet/calling i'd rather C/R, is my logic flawed?

I think I'd just rather b/c. Not sure if we can count on the shorties betting when they've missed the flop, flopped a gs etc. And that's when we really like a bet to go in. We might even commit one of them with a better hand than ours he'd fold if we bet, like a smaller PP. Also I'd never c/r a good hand so it doesn't really fit. I haven't experimented much with c/r in situations like this so I might be wrong though.

Just check/folding is clearly bad though, as we'll have at very least 36% eq vs their pushing range, I would even argue we'll have almost 40% eq vs their range making it +ev even if we have no fe at all.

1 for b/c

I think it is close. I made a b/c because I have overcards + gutshot. I think this adds a lot to my equity in the hand. If I missed the flop completely, I think c/f would be better (even though I can't find a hand where I would raise OOP and then missed this completely - without gutshot or a pair, I mean - maybe if I had 77 - 99, it would be an ugly flop for c/f). Just some thoughts.
