What line would you take here given our high risk aversion - push the flop to take the pot immediately, or 'slowplay' our huge combo hand given that we can extract more value that way if he decidec to barrel worse draws and we can fold if he shoves the river and we miss?

Why in earth you push on that flop from position? You really play 30$ regulary? Looks like 7$ skill level or mega tilt. Push pre-> as played you call flop, you might raise that donk bet but never push over vs random. You have to have reads if you do that and I believe this kind board and equity what you have on this hand is huge mistake to shove vs anyone actually.

I think flatting is the best play on the flop. I want to control the risk-aversion and only commit to a large pot when I realize my equity. If you brick the turn and he bombs you can easily fold. If he is going to barrel a worse draw, he probably won't pot it, so you can easily see a river. Also, him barreling worse draws is quite good for us because we literally dominate every draw so I don't really want to push him off those hands.

So you want to openshove 20bb pre vs fish on the bb and are asking me if i play 30s regularly?

If you only have questions about my average buy in please dont ask them here.

Pushing 24/7 there, only reason to not push is that if you know when you min open, sb folds and bb shove any2 or 60%+. And yeah, with your postflop skils (like this hh proves) it should be shove 100% of the time to you.
I learn my lesson and this was last free tip to you. Keep grushing!

yeah when i want some trolling i go to facebook.
You should do the same.
My postflop skill if no concern to you.
Gl with the fish shoving any two over minraise :)
Your preflop skill seems to be not better than my postflop :)

Meh, shoving flop should be totally fine. You have 60% vs top pair here and good amount of FE + can get called by draws like KQ Kc9c etc which you CRUSH. If you call and turn bricks you are in super ugly spot with heavy ICM tax.

Preflop shove is obv also +EV, although against people who won't 3bet jam you minraise is just pretty much better.

in my opinion minraise preflop / call flop.
re-evalute on later development. By calling the flop we give our opponent maximum opportunities to make mistakes resulting in high EV for us on later streets.
