The PF 3 bet by a shorty puts me in a weird situation, also considering an UTG open.

Opener 21/12/0 over 100 hands (teeny sample), and shorty 3 bet is 56/30 over <20 hands

21/12 over 100 hands,... how on earth could you really know unless he was never opening UTG and UTG +1 and always stealing the button basically. Plus its easy if he shoves. 360 to iso the shortie and feel pretty good about it. think you are seeing monsters for no reason

Iso to x and call shorty/fold to UTG is nice, just make it like 150 or so and if he flats get it in on every flop, making it 300 means you lose an unnecessary 150 everytime UTG re-raises.

that seems really weak ? fish raises to 100 and we raise to 150? ive never done this in my life but i want to have all weapons in my arsenal here, isn't this an autoflat for UTG due to pot odds?

I think I would also re-raise a bit higher - but I would want to keep it smallish for another reason. If you raise too much and still get flatted but the shortie goes allin if your raise was too big you can't re-shove only call (at least on PStars) but a raise to ~200 is what I would go for.

You can make it more if you want
