Without reads it's a toughie. Some shortys are v. aggressive, shoving a lot. Others take advantage of the fact that some people play looser against the short stack.

First hand against him, I lay this down, looks like KJ, QT, or certainly a better ten than yours. If he's bluffing, I look for a clearer spot to get his chips.

Would love to know how many people call here. Am I being too weak?
