NL 50 Marginal hands vs shorties
 

Villian is you average shorty. I tend to call off shorty's light like in the hand below. What are your thoughts about calling shorty's in spots like these in general.

Is this a call? Can someone stove this?

You beat only flush draws here... I like to call shorties on close spots too, but this one seems that youre behind, IMO.

Re: NL 50 Marginal hands vs shorties
 

maybe behind, but I am calling this too, shortstacks like that are usually low skilled and push with any pair

You are getting 2:1 and Id be suprised if you didnt have +33% equity. Id call, but I wouldnt be thrilled about it.

Re: NL 50 Marginal hands vs shorties
 

Yeah I would call as well and not be too happy about it.

Either outcome is good:
He got a fullstack
You got a bigger stack [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
