Some more info and my opinion in the spoiler tags.

Spoiler

I feel like I terribly misplayed this hand given the reads. BTN was aggro 28/24/9/9.0 agg and he basically raised any button and any small blind. Given JT's strength postflop, I decided to flat and look at the flop. With 20BBs left behind, I felt it was quite standard to put it in otf... I will most likely have to give up on the hand in case a brick hand hits and we are still rather even with the shortie. I also was somehow tricked by his 60% betsizing, because he usually bet quite small, 1/3, or just put it in in the previous hands on the final table.

That said, even if I did not play it bad postflop in a vacuum, I could say I still did given the reads. The short stack was basically folding every hand and was terrible (24/2/2.6/1.0) overall.

Hi all,

Call is best here, it's quite difficult to get value from a raise on a rainbow board.

Preflop's good BTW.
