Okay, here comes the stupid train: I raise to $10. I don't want Villain to fold when I raise, but I don't want to just call with ~$22 behind in my stack OOP.
The $10 raise only makes Villain pay $6 to win $14, so he's getting seemingly good odds to call with his Ax or QQ-99.
When Villain calls, we can auto push any flop for our remaining $16 and probably get called fairly often. I know that an Ace will flop ~20% of the time, but since we can't really make a bet without pushing the flop, we simply push everything.
Somebody please explain to me why my line is stupid, given Isura and Villain's stack sized vs. the blinds.
