    Default Trivial spot against mega donk

    But I think there's some room for improvement:
    No history. Read is that he just open limp/minraised the btn 3 handed and flatted a 4b with a 56bb stack.



    $0.50/$1 No Limit Holdem
    3 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    BTN Joel94560 ($56.35)
    SB DK280 ($100)
    BB Hero ($231)

    Pre-Flop: ($1.50, 3 players) Hero is BB
    Joel94560 calls $1, DK280 folds, Hero raises to $4, Joel94560 raises to $7, Hero raises to $24, Joel94560 calls $17

    Flop: ($48.50, 2 players)
    Hero ($207)?


    He has less than pot left.
    What do you do here? Obviously we're getting it in, but I'm torn between shove and betting 1/4 pot to get him to spazz or call down with worse and wtfcall turn.
    If you ship do you put in the whole 207*, do you make it pot, or do you make it his stack size or slightly less than his stack.

    *On FT the pot isn't separated, he only sees the total pot - so if I make it 207, he'll see a pot of 250 and 32 to call. Not that I think he's dumb enough to not realize that, but it might make a difference psychologically.

    That would be my default...
    Is there any flop texture that you're not shoving?

    I did shove, he called with K4s... I was not surprised, but I thought against some other guys another line might be better.

    on more dry boards you can definitely check-induce - like Q22r, as well as obv on Axx/Kxx flops, here just ship it in with his stack

    A check here would be my play most often.. otherwise you are giving him a chance to fold worse.
