THis is just a quick line check to make sure i wasn't out of line.
Villain starts the hand with $5.35, Hero covers.

Preflop: Hero raises to $.35 UTG with A /images/graemlins/spade.gifK /images/graemlins/club.gif, 2 calls, Villain raises to $1.55, 1 fold, Hero raises to $10 and is all in.

Standard? If not what is your standard line here.

Given stack size, position and the need to isolate the raiser, I think this is fine, even if it may be marginal.

meh, its close.

if you dont know anything about him i really dont mind folding here. there's so many different lines against different villains and situations.

call (and try to hit a pair)
call and c/r AI most flops
4bet and call a push (becuase it looks scarier)
fold
4bet push

all have merits to be honest against different stack sizes, history and villains

yeah thats why i'd fold (or push if you've been active lately or he's aggressive or overvalues marginal hands).

the rest of the post is general thoughts

I don't give shortstacks credit for high PP's often, so I shove here. If stack was deep, obviously wouldn't shove.

Considering the villains stack size I would shove here. Deeper stacks I would mix up between foldind, calling and an even smaller percentage of raising.

he is so short that you might as well shove and flip a coin to his medium pocket pair i am guessing

against a shortstack at 10nl? AK is the nuts. This isn't even close, good push op.

This is a no-brain push, for the reasons stated above, though it tempts me to go everywhere with a short stack just so nobody will believ my play.

[/ QUOTE ]How about a 25nl or a 50nl shortstack? I never know what to make of them at those limits.
