MP3 ($5)
CO ($2.27)
Button ($5.05)
<font color="#C00000">SB ($1.60)</font>
<font color="#C00000">BB ($4.16)</font>
UTG ($2.32)
UTG+1 ($6.35)
<font color="#C00000">Hero ($4.77)</font>
MP1 ($0.80)
MP2 ($12.74)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. MP3 posts a blind of $0.04. SB posts a blind of $0.02. UTG posts a blind of $0.04.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.2</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB (poster) raises to $0.34</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls $0.16.

Raise here is 5BB which is what this table pays to see the flop. I cant say SB raise was a happy sight but his miniraise wont make me fold - should it? Yes, i'm dominated often but this miniraise doesnt scream strength to me.

Flop: ($0.80) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $0.5</font>, Hero calls $0.50.

This is usual cbet. I didnt buy it. I trully thought I'm ahead at this point. Since he is shortstach should I push and put him to a decision.

Turn: ($1.80) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB bets $0.74 (All-In), Hero calls $0.74.

Well, heart falls but i didnt put him on a flush draw. His bet seemed like a last act of a desperate man (that or AA pushing for value /images/graemlins/tongue.gif). I believed I'm ahead so I called.

Final Pot: $4.12

His play preflop as well as hesitant play postflop lead me to believe I have better hand. Should I have my head examined?
