When I want to get all my chips in the center vs a shorty on the flop, what do you think is best? If you bet the pot, they're pretty much comitted and will call most anything. Or...is it better to just bet them all in and hope for the best? This is assuming you're heads up.
Perhaps it doesn't matter b/c if they like their hand enough, they're getting into the center anyway. I guess i'm more interested in getting them into the center with more marginal situations.
I started thinking about this b/c of this hand..

Hero ($50)
CO ($52.95)

SB ($13.85)
BB ($23.55)
UTG ($86.47)
Preflop: Hero is MP with 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif. Hero posts a blind of $0.50. SB posts a blind of $0.25.

Flop: ($1.50) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $2</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $7</font>, SB calls $5.
Turn: ($15.50) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif
I realize at this point, he's in for the long haul, but should I have put him all in on the flop instead?
any ideas?
