NL25 vs shortstack

[TheLemonShark]

To me his play looks alot like a monster, minibet, minibet, shove. But maybe he is just trying to pull off a desperate bluff... Should I have check raised flop to make further decisions easier? Or maybe even lead to try and induce a bluff raise from the shortstack.

Any reads? Assuming he is playing a short stack on purpose, and knows what the hell he's doing. bluffing is not part of the plan.

Fold PF.

Fold river.

raise turn...

as played, i call the river.

[MrGrand]

raise flop
and put him all in on the turn

[monkeymaps]

you guys really fold QK to a small raise in BB 4 handed?
ok well I dont maybe thats bad but..
either c/r or lead flop to make this hand eaiser to play.
I actully like the line cause he could be betting a hand you beat but I think lead or c/r somewhere alongthe line makes this easier to play for shure.

3bet &gt; fold &gt; call preflop i think
Why would you call on the flop? Raise it up to 5.
As played raise turn AI
Looks like he hit 2pair on the river because he gets confident in his hand (that is how i interpret it), but pot too big to fold...

You got in trouble because you didnt raise pf, flop and turn.

I think RR an UTG raiser w/ KQo OOP is total spew and 5 is wayyyy too big a raise.

If I'm seeing the flop, I'm playing for his stack. His bets are sized so that he has little less than the pot left on river, looks almost perfect to me. I'd prolly raise the turn latest.

[vixticator]

I think c/r flop is spew, call is good. River looks like OMG DONT CALL bet after those tiny bets on flop/turn. He could be [censored] with you on a monster too. I call river and play flop/turn same, pay off wizard? That or I lead the flop and avoid calling down hope he doesn't raise me and turn him into station instead of us.
