    I would shove pre.

    You can't let the uber stack have any ideas of pushing you off your hand preflop, he may think (and correctly so) that he has a ton of FE if he shoves over.

    Or he might just be a donk and shove with Ax. I haven't done any maths but it seems to me you don't want to be all in with the Big stack, since you can't fold, do as much as you can to disuade a call from him


    You'd be surprised how often the shorty's call you. If big stack calls and wins, I recommend cyanide.

    I agree with caddie, I shove this preflop considering the stack sizes. If the big stack wants to call with Ax or some other hand you beat and sucks out, so be it. The problem with standard raising is that if you're called and the flop comes A high or with lots of broadways, you'll basically have to fold the flop to any bet.

    As played, I would have a very hard time folding this flop, particularly if the big stack has been aggressive.

    I'm not shoving this and I don't fold this either...I think you got unlucky here. The only thing I might do different is make a bigger flop bet but with the way it goes down the result is the same.
