Optimal?
Is this a good way to give shortstackers a taste of their own medicine? Optimal play?

Re: Optimal?
I don't think so. With AT or so, sure. But with a hand this strong, I want action. I'd bet 3xBB, hoping they come over the top, so I can fist pump call.

Re: Optimal?
Primo, seems like this line makes it really easy for them to play close to perfectly?

Re: Optimal?
You assume they are competent and will play perfectly.

Re: Optimal?
I was halfway through asking if they were the competent type of shortstackers or not but I removed it for some reason.
However, I'm not assuming that they'll play perfectly, I'm saying that this line makes it easier for them to play perfectly than just raising normally. |

Re: Optimal?
You're pushing a point across, but you're giving them way too much chance to do what they want - which is getting their shortstack AI preflop with a premium hand. Seems like these stack sizes will call with everything that beats AQo, but nothing that it crushes. Once in awhile JJ/TT, but that's it. As a general guide, I'd make a normal raise and try and get action with this big a hand folded to you on the BTN.
