Hello, this is not from final table.
I chose push, because I considered this hand too good to fold, but too bad on most flops. The second option could be raise to approx 400 and then reraise or push most flops.
Is that thought process right or completely bad? Is that any range for push 20bb PF against CO limp?

PokerStars - 40/80 Ante 10 NL - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

SB: 4,805
BB: 2,190
UTG: 1,355
CO: 2,189
Hero (BTN): 1,426

5 players post ante of 10, SB posts SB 40, BB posts BB 80

Pre Flop: (pot: 170) Hero has 5♦ A♦

fold, CO calls 80, Hero raises to 1,416 and is all-in, fold, BB calls 1,336, fold

Flop: (3,002, 2 players) T♥ 2♠ 5♥

Turn: (3,002, 2 players) 3♠

River: (3,002, 2 players) T♦

BB shows A♣ Q♠ (One Pair, Tens)
(Pre 68%, Flop 15%, Turn 11%)
Hero shows 5♦ A♦ (Two Pair, Tens and Fives)
(Pre 32%, Flop 85%, Turn 89%)
Hero wins 3,002

Both push and iso/f are fine. I think it depends on the blinds most. If they are very tight then I would choose the latter.

I would try to isolate the limper with a 3x raise and fold to a shove. 18bb is still to much to shove with, but it's not a big deal ether if you shove against passive villains.

Personally I'm not a big fan of this push. It's most likely +EV/+$EV, but for me it's way too slightly +, so it will increase your variance way too much.

With this stack I would play raise/fold or just fold against unknown opponents, but against too tight opponents the push is okay too.

For the ~400 bet size I would say I would never raise more than 360 here if folding to 3bet or giving up the hand postflop is an option. I don't see more fold equity in that ~40 chips, so I would save them in this situation.

360 (4,5x) is already way to big with this stack dynamic. This way you invest around 25% of your stack and than you are almost pot committed if 1 of them will shove on you.

You are right, it was a mistake. Although I wrote the wrong number and I meant 320, that's already a quite big portion of the stack. What do you think, would 240 (3x) be enough to generate fold equity, or would that be too little and offers too good odds for the opponents?

240 is pretty nice sizing.

If we had like 15bb I would shove but more than that start to be awkward for shove imo.

3x is fine. Especially in position. Out of position I would raise more and shove earlier as well.
