Just second guessing my instinct after seemingly failing to get any value with aces. This is a standard shove right? Figured I didn't like flatting here, as the table had not been very active at all and I couldn't expect a raise from behind me. And I couldn't really see 3betting without it looking way strong. Thoughts?

Just thought this might be sort of an in-between stack size, as I'm not second-guessing a shove of ~13 BBs or less here, and I'd be 3betting if I had 25 BBs or more, but w/16...?

given your stack, anything besides a shove seems suspicious

well, as played, we can't really do anything else. but yeah i know what you mean, that seems perfect

Its a 3 dollar tourny, people are not conforming to the normal raise/call standards. Flatting always here and sometimes shoving if table is never folding
