Firstly apologies for the semi untidy format, I couldn't find a converter that worked with Absolute Poker so I've had to do it myself to make it more readable /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Villian is quite new to the table and only played a couple of hands, but from what I've gathered is very passive as he always likes to see the flop. He sat down with min buy-in of $4.

Holdem No Limit $0.05/$0.10
BTN ($3.20 in chips)
SB ($24.40 in chips)
BB ($9.18 in chips)
UTG ($8.35 in chips)
Hero [MP] ($23.75 in chips)
CO ($18.33 in chips)

SB - Posts small blind $0.05
BB - Posts big blind $0.10

*** POCKET CARDS ***
Dealt Hero [J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif A/images/graemlins/spade.gif]
UTG - Calls $0.10
Hero - Raises $0.50 to $0.50
CO - Folds
BTN - Calls $0.50
SB - Folds
BB - Folds
UTG - Folds

*** FLOP *** ($1.15) [K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif J/images/graemlins/heart.gif A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif]
Hero - Bets $1
BTN - All-In(Raise) $2.70 to $2.70
Hero - Calls $1.70

<font color="blue">I thought about a checkraise, but with 2 diamonds on board I didn't want to give him a free card in case he was on a fd. Also if he held AQ I didn't want to see a T on the turn. By this time the pot was $4.65 but it was only costing me $1.70 to call so I thought it was the right move?

I put him on KJ at best or QJ, as I thought he would've played AA, KK, QQ, JJ more aggressively pf given his position.</font>

*** TURN *** ($6.35) [K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif J/images/graemlins/heart.gif A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif] [4/images/graemlins/heart.gif]

*** RIVER *** ($6.35) [K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif J/images/graemlins/heart.gif A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif] [6/images/graemlins/spade.gif]

Results below.
<font color="white">
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Hero - Shows [Jd As] (Two Pair, aces and jacks)
BTN - Shows [Ac Ah] (Three of a kind, aces)
BTN Collects $6.35 from main pot
</font>

I just thought WTF. Surely he should have reraised pf?

Any criticisms/feedback/suggestions welcome! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Given the villain's stack, it's standard in my book. Call the push and move on.

Extremely standard vs a shortstack.

I used the PokerZion converter, which almost worked right. I think the only big mistake it makes is pot sizes when one stack goes all in and has the other covered.
