You have 16 bb left on a dry flop, since you didn't push preflop I guess you stick it in now. Exactly how were you planning to outplay this guy with 800 chips?

I don't really get not instashoving preflop here, but I think you are pretty much obligated to push it in here..

You said it yourself, the villian is wild. Pretty much a dream situation for someone in the yellow zone to be heads up against this guy. Shove preflop and either add 1/3 to your stack when he folds or double through if he doesn't.

Not sure why you didn't just get it all in preflop - Chances are, if villain raised preflop, he will call your shove and you double up.

As it stands now, you have to shove.
