Posted this in the MC thread but want as much analysis as possible.

My line is pretty standard IMO but I struggled to choose between straight up jamming it in and taking the standard B/F. Not jamming just forces us to fold our equity which is fairly substantial. So is jamming better to force out a decent portion of hands that beat us and to allow us to realize our equity vs the nuttier hands which do call us?

Wow, you know. You almost had to call the shove there. But given that he is likely holding on to one of your straight outs, fold is slightly better. WP

I think straight up jamming here is quite silly. You will probably only get TT to fold here. I'm excluding QQ+. Everything else save KQ will call a shove.

Right guys? lol, tbh these spots are my weakpoint too.

Fold pre it's a marginal hand.

Nice 3bet though ... I personally would've potsized the flop. I guess you saved more money than me but I might've actually called. This is why I fold pre because I would've called :)

No reads or stats on button? It would be good to know more in terms of whether just calling or squeezing is more preferable.

If stacks are a little larger I'd be CRAI. I think as played it's fine. Whether you pot the flop and commit yourself, or bet small/fold really depends a ton on your opponent and where their range might be. If they can call a lot of mid pairs like 77-TT, then it's clearly a pot/call.

5nl squeeze OOP ?? I would fold preflop, you dont need to play this kind of situations at 5nl .. avoid them.

folding pre NEVER when we're 180 bbs deep vs. loose late-position opener with this hand, are you crazy. probably not squeezing either but depends on how CO plays in 3-bet pots.

as a side note I'd bet every single person who wants to fold pre would snap call 22 in this spot, which is going to be a more marginal call.

as played I'd just pot the flop and call it off.
