One key idea is still missing from this thread:

Having a medium-decent SS on your left sucks, cuz he plays lots of 3b shoves over preflop raises, and you DON'T usually have quite enough pots odds to call. (and NO implied odds either, obv.)

Well, turn it around. What if he's on your right? Then when he opens in the CO, Hero can 3bet "shove" on him, i.e. 3bet to 20BB which covers his stack. This turns the strategy on its head. Now the SHORTIE doesn't have any implied odds, and the pots odds aren't quite enough for HIM to call w/ the majority of his range.

What kinds of hands can we 3bet "shove" against him? Can we do it from the BTN? the blinds?
