Move vs unknown?
I realize the preflop call is maybe too loose, calling that big of a raise.

dont think its too much preflop, your alot deeper in 2nl than the higher limits so your still within the 10x rule i follow for set mining.

on this flop really all you can be scared of is overpairs. vs an unknown i think im floating this bet and calling down any non broadway hand unless he 3 barrels pot sized bets every time.

that might be a little spewey on my part though.

I'm at least calling the flop bet. You have position and you can get out if he barrels again. Preflop is fine for me as well

Definitely don't shove. Only worse hands are calling. I'd generally play this pretty passively & just get to showdown. Its sorta like a WA/WB spot, except that a hand like AK still has decent equity in the pot.

A small raise may not be bad, if you think it will induce our villain to shove his whole range. But shoving all in ourselves is pretty bad, and essentially turns our hand into a bluff (because when we're called, we're beat).

You're spot on. I shoved thinking maybe an A or lower pp calls. He called all right .. with QQ :)

shove here is ok to me. pot is bloated and your going to be all in by the river most likely anyway, if your going to play the hand. plus its 2nl, were you just can't give anyone credit for having a hand. so i say shove or fold the flop.
