hero???
curious to know what to do here with relevant stack sizes. the sb was plying tight and had open shoved a cpl times but prob not as much as he should have done considering his stack.
bb was playing a solid game and bullying accordingly. he had 3 bet earlier in the game, always with the goods, but had yet to do so in this situation when there was more stealing going on.
my image was tight and id been staeling some but not overly so.

I really think you have to play those ducks 3 handed^^ which play has the highest EV is obviously a tough thing to answer... probably: if they are passive, minraise preflop otherwise push?!

all in, getting flatted or shoved over is a disaster and shoving is for sure better than folding.

Shove it, I'm happy to shove in this spot.

i know i wrote that both players were quite tight here so perhaps shove is ok. my only concern is that if we shove with 22 and they call quite wide (and they tend to at these stakes once bubble s burst), theyre not actually gonna be in bad shape ie its a flip.
so i just feel a tad aggrieved that they may make a silly call and benefit from it.

in game i raised to 500 and took it there. didnt like this though as perhaps i could afford one bet on board if called but if i was met with any opposition thenceforth i d have to slow down (after giving ~35% of stack away).
