Default Re: Is this standard?

Ugh, with the stack sizes, a push is a little bit much. I think a raise to $15 or so, hopefully V1 will push and you can trap some extra dead money from V2.

This leaves you with a great opportunity to stick more money on further streets as a big dog instead of a slight favorite. If you actually hit on the turn or river you can lose action from the made hand that would have called on the flop, and if you don't hit you're losing more to the stubborn caller who would have folded to a push (or other draw when you both hit). Out of position pushing is much better imo, leaves no bad decesions to make on later streets. In position a case could be made for just a standard raise.
