Should I have pushed on flop regardless due to the size of pot, my stack size and villians loose tendancies

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is BB with K/images/graemlins/club.gif K/images/graemlins/spade.gif
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 raises to $2.25</font>, 4 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $7.5</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls.

Flop: 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif A/images/graemlins/heart.gif Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif ($15.75, 2 players)
Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 bets $5</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $5 returned to MP2.

Results:
Final pot: $15.75

I would have most likely come out for a c-bet of $10.

As played I would fold.

I'm sorry, I'm still confused...you had the smaller stack, correct?...how much was it when the hand started?

[techballer]

Correct, I had the smaller stack, The villian started with aproximately 35 dollars I started with $18.
Sorry for the confusion

I don't think you can assume that he automatically has an A in this situation. I think you have to bet the flop here.

That's your real problem. Just push preflop, you'll get a lot of calls from a lot worse. Oh, and don't play with a short stack.

[vixticator]

You started with 36bb stack? Shove PF. Any reasonable hand is calling, AT+, 55+, KQ, given his looseness probably more. As played you need to push the flop. At least CRAI. Folding is not an option.

Why are you playing short (just curious)

I like a PF shove if there is a caller, but just as his open you are a little too deep to do that. Understand that with your stack size PF play changes a lot (i.e. min raising and limping are ok in certain situations)
