Do most .5/1 players fold Aces here?

[Tickner]

If you plan on going all in bet a lot more on the turn (40). You have no FE on the river at all.

if i'm going to try it, I raise MORE on the flop and PUSH the turn.

but, he probably can't lay down aces anyways.

This is why you should never fold Aces at 100NL (without a good read), especially not against short stacks.

I certainly thought about reraising preflop, but I thought since I was out of position I would take a look at the flop and check-raise it if it looked good..

In any case, if I did reraise, I'm not sure I could have folded to a four-bet considering my stack size.

You realize, don't you, that what you are basically saying is that you didn't want to re-raise preflop because you wanted your opponent to be able to use position.

Being OOP preflop should make you more inclined to re-raise, not less.

Also, your comments about "winning a small pot" preflop when you re-raise are silly.

1) How many hands in your PT db average 5.5bb/hand, which is what winning outright achieves here.
2) If he calls and folds a small pair on the flop when you don't improve, you win even more.
3) You don't have a monster, you have Ace-High.

Lastly, to answer your original question:

--People don't ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fold Aces to short-stackers. This is simply fact. They won't do it. Doesn't matter how credible your bluff looks (by the way, you just compounded this problem by making it easy for him to call with your betsizing).

If you want to make big bluffs, buy in full. The only viable short-stack strategy is playing tight and value betting strong hands.

I guess I didn't realize 60 BBs was a "short stack". I have only been playing NL online for a week. I am used to playing in live games with 40-50 BB buy-ins, and in tourneys where the average stack is like 20 BB by the third or fourth level.

The river bet was pretty dumb. But I'm still surprised I got called on the turn. 2/3 of the pot is basically my standard bet...I didn't push b/c I thought it would look suspicious and b/c that's not how most people would play a straight against a likely overpair.
