I bet $7. I don't want them drawing at overcards for free.

Definitely bet this flop, 7-8 is good. Youre betting for value here. These idiot shortstacks are gonna stack off with any small pp or 6x or 8x on this flop normally.

[.xxxx.]

yes
$7
because I'm ahead(value), an A/K will shut down action for me on the turn, mid pp's will play back at me and they're both short enough that they may even play back with AT+

Def bet whatever you normally cbet, and I'd get it in if they cr/ai.

[Lordy]

Bet and get it in if they raise. Shortstacks are dumb.
