obv im happy to get the shortstack AI, his cold call is prolly a flush draw, or possibly A8, all other Aces hes just pushing.

whats my plan on the flop? im fairly sure the money will be going in on the turn, regardless of the card, because of the shortstack. should i just fold this? call/reevaluate? maybe c/c? i dont really wanna push and play for stacks with this hand, since he could easily have me outkicked.

all comments appreciated, thanks!

bump.. anyone?

There was no raise preflop, I don't see any danger for your kicker. If he does have a bigger ace, its his fault not yours. I'd be more concerned about 88 here, since many people like to limp with middle pairs.

If you dont want to play for stacks, call it and try to see a cheap showdown - CO's stack may make this a little difficult. Really the turn and river action here is more important than the flop action.
