Villain is short stacked. the rest of the players are loose and somewhat passive like we like em. flop bet?? raise the turn after all that action? bet/call river?

I don't bet the flop. River is a super easy call against a short-stacked villain and possibly even close to a 3-bet. He has 9T or something retarded like that.

There is no point of betting the flop. We do not have the best hand, we will not fold a better hand and we will not increase our chances of winning enough to make it profitable. Far from. You are just charging yourself extra to draw.

It's hard to know just how gonzo this MP3 goes when shortstacked, but i guess the turn raise is good since the pot is so huge. I would not reraise the river though, he may actually have the hand he represents so furiously.
