Getting some troubles in a situations like this postflop, dont think usuall c-bet here is a good idea since i am reraised (maybe even with air or some stupid 3rd pair) very often

I don't mind pushing preflop.

Your bet is encouraging the SB to go all in. I like this bet. I would not shove preflop. Perhaps a smaller raise preflop would keep the pot smaller to minimize the amount you lose if your c-bet is check raised. I also have difficulty with that situation.

This is a tough spot. You can do a couple things to make this a little easier.

1) You could just open shove this preflop.
2) you could raise less. Like 250-275. You'll still get the same amount of folds preflop, but it will keep the pot smaller. This way a c-bet may not need to be pot committing.

With your stack I would just rather push because:

- Raising PF and get re-poped PF sucks
- Raising PF, getting called, C-betting, and getting pushed AI sucks even worse.

Despite the stack I feel Pushing &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; PFR push any flop &gt;&gt;&gt; folding &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; any other alternative.
