This is a pretty interesting spot. I bet 14.

I've been shutting down on my cbetting vs him, since he loves to play back at me.

Is he smart enough to notice this?

Can't say for sure, but he doesn't seem terrible, so he should have noticed a little bit.

In the dry side pot Im betting for value against him as I put ya ahead of him for sure.
Assuming shorty goes allin and you both call I think 70$ on turn and depending on river card check or shove.

bigjim, i agree with what you are saying about all of this and i am really impressed with your situational bet sizing. i am trying to incorporate a lot of this in to my game and i 100% owe you for it. I think i actually told someone to bet smaller to set up a pot sized shove on the river with more fold equity in a post today, and i can thank you for that thought process.

i'm thinking overbet to appear to target shorty might be the most effective way to induce SB to make a gigantic mistake.

i would bet 28 for meta game, so the shorty can shove over you.

Bet exactly half of what the shortstack has for obvious reasons. This situation is very similar to the 5/10 $100 max game that is played in Florida . You raise to exactly $55 so that when the $100 stacks shove in blind you can reraise. That clearly looks like the best option in your hand.

$14 is pretty standard. Shortie pushes and hopefully SB takes the bait. If not, you still win a decent sized pot. For those advocating more than $14, you realize that a shortie push doesn't reopen the betting right?

i like 14, i think the 29 will get him to fold seeing as he figures the shortie will call and he'll see ur hand...

This is a pretty interesting spot. I bet 14 when I'm playing vv well but generally I end up just bombing out like 16-18 and regretting it when shortie pushes, sb cold calls and I can't isolate.
