I decided shoving in the flop because I think that in this point i have more fold equity and I think that the villain could be make push if I make check.

shove preflop.

with only 18BB you should shove 3bet shove preflop. If villain is loose,he will be behind.

Yes, the shove preflop is the easiest way, but I think that with the shove the villain folds hands that I want he keep in the hand.

Agree, on 15bb effective this is a shove preflop.

As played, we are committed to shove on pretty much any flop, including this one.

preflop shove is best.

3betting to 1/3 of your stack is generally not a good idea unless you are already planning on shoving any flop AND you don't think your opponent is savvy enough to notice that 3betting to 1/3 your stack is extremely strong and pot committing.

Basically, the only hands I might try this with would be AA and KK and again only vs. opponents who aren't paying much attention. Vs. good players they will see right through it and shoving becomes better, even with your monsters as you're more likely to get called by hands like 88-TT and AK when you shove than when you 3bet for 1/3 your stack
