First HH of the year

And probably not a very interesting one. Villain wasn't very impressed with my play. Villain is 16/16/3, limper is loosey limper, Villain has no reason to think I'm 3-betting light.

theres only $15 in the pot and you have $42.40 behind. pushing is terrible. bet out like $11-12 and call a push if he shoves.

Well pushing wouldn't be that bad in this instance but it doesn't play too well into your overall game because just open pushing isn't a very optimal line with some other parts of your range.

why would shoving 2.5x the pot not be bad here?

Because we're flipping with most of his calling range and it gathers a ton of FE, and mostly we'd like it if he'd fold.

I was more worried taht he might flat call and I'd lose all my equity on a blank turn. For some reason the $15 pot confuses me more than $13.

If he flats the flop then just shove the turn anyway. He'll have JJ/TT sometimes and fold it.
