NL 25 - QQ pf in BB

[reemas]

Opponent was loose, PT shows him at: 54/14/.76. He often played short stack and twice I doubled him up after getting it in on flop or preflop with him always having an overpair (KK).

This situation comes up:

I'm looking at stack and am debating a shove or a call. I'm not sure how to play this on the flop - what am I folding to if he shoves? How about if he checks?

I would just shove, what are you gonna do, 3 bet to 4 and fold to a shove of 6 more?

raise the pot - so make it $3.75.

push any flop. Call if he shoves unless there is an ace AND a king on the flop (in which case fold)

if you think he'll call if you push preflop then just push em in you are almost certainly ahead.

yeah i guess i played it correctly - i shoved. he had KK and they held up. thing that sucks is i ran into his KK whenever I had a hand.

Be happy you're not doubling him up when he has a full stack. Shortstakers wreck the tables they sit at, but at least they can never put you to a tough decision, which is what you have vs 100BB stacks when you flop overs with QQ OOP and he has KK.
