Bet the flop is how I would play, this is a great flop because there aren't any draws and basically the odds someone has a J or maybe TT/99 aren't too high.

Seeing has how both players are short I think you can push this less hard. Make it $20 now, push the river.

Given the action, what hands call $20 that wouldn't call their stack in this game?

Actually, I think that's just the point. You want to extract maximum value here. You can reraise, even minreraise, and keep a set or some foolish 2pr in. You're probably going to lose any gutshot draws, but you also might get the set to come back at you all in b/c your straight is pretty well-hidden.

Remember, the closer the 2nd best hand is to your hand, the more you'll make off the pot. Trap him into putting you all in.

Also, you're more likely to get a call here on the turn and have a player with a good 2nd best hand stay with you to the river. On the river you can value bet, and you're more likely to make more money over the long run.

I think plenty of hands can get away from this huge overbet that won't get away from a small overbet. I'd try making it around $30 and then shoving the rest in on any river.

i think i c/r it to about the BB stacksize here.

Re: c/r all-in with the nut straight oop, silly or standard?
 

I lead the flop here in unraised pots virtually every single time.

Given how it was played, I think a c/r to 20 on the turn would've been better. Sometimes you might get paid off, but the vast majority of the time everyone folds, and you don't need the nuts to make that happen.
