Folding here is really bad. SB doesn't even have a 1/2 pot size bet, and is pushing almost any hand that he called 1/2 his stack with PF.

This only has to be some kind of really terrible 'stop and go' play or donk move with lower pair or flush draw, what 20%ish of the time? No way you fold.

Not even that much, considering we're about 12% even if he has the A. This is a no-brainer call.

Call!!! Can you imagine the SB not "pushing" the flop given his stack? This guy desperately wants to win this pot and he is using all the leverage he has, which isn't much.

I've given up trying to think like shorty -- they show up with anything, and use the A to bluff their last chips in some hopeless, idiotic way. Just call every time. ATCdd or any pair, or any piece of the board does this... and if you think of folding, it's actually makes it the right move on their part.

you have kk against a shortstack, get all in whenever you can.

You cant fold here, and also, you most likely still have the best hand

Alright just checking. I insta-called but I though he most likely has an ace, and he turned over A9o.
