UTG is now pot committed...If you don't hit you can't surely check and let him go ai to take it away from you?!

Umm this only works as a good line if you want to play for his stack. I don't mind it against shorty's cause ill take ,what i would consider a bit of an overly aggressive line in the SB to an UTG raiser, a shot to get him off the table.

[relativity_x]

yeah, most villains are pushing the flop in this spot. The 3bet is a must from the sb against an utg raiser, so I'd have to call his flop push.

Also, in the future, I tend to leave tables where most stacks aren't &gt; $20 at 25 NL.

But bullying shortstacks can be so much fun. Especially if your 8-tabling and jsut wanna mess around a bit on one.

[Unknown Soldier]

you need to raise more then this, I usually raise like 16-18bbs in this spot

I don't 3b this is when UTG is super super tight, like (4/2/.5). But even in this circumstance, he's so short that I'd be happy to get it in against him.

And shortstacks at uNL are usually donking their money away, so one-two of them at a table where the rest of the stacks are full or bigger doesn't really bother me much because it's easier to play perfectly against their range.

This is a good way to isolate the PFR, but you have to be willing to stack off on just about any flop. Given that you'll be ahead a fair amount of the time I think its okay, but its a high variance play. Probs +EV tho.
