I almost never make this play but V1 was playing aggressive the last couple of orbits from what I saw (stats were 33/19, 10% 3-bet, 100% c-bet, 33% fold to c-bet, 50% fold to 3-bet, tiny sample of just 42 hands, so more based on table flow). I figured I was short enough that a call created a very small SPR so I could easily shove any flop and might get a c-bet where I might not get a call preflop. It all went perfectly except for the BB call. Since I don’t know what V1 had I don’t know if he would have just called a PF shove.

Did I over-think this situation? I feel like I did or I wouldn’t be positing, still. I’m, I can’t help but think a PF shove wouldn’t have taken down a pot that would have only bumped me to ~14BB

Should I be shoving 100%?

Maybe min-raise just to discourage the BB? It would look fishy or nutty, but anything more probably just looks nutty. Either way V1 would probably have come along but maybe not c-bet as often since I’d have taken the betting lead.

I’m not sure it matters all that much, but according to PT4’s equity calculator I had ~72% equity preflop against V2’s hand and “random” for V1. On the flop I still had ~20%.
