10NL - AK on a paried board

[Goodnews]

I've been spanking and isolating CO for the last 5 orbits. He has yet to play back at me, thus making it even more likely he is playing back at me (or is it a mistake to think players at this level will adjust?).

What can you beat? Nothing but a bluff. Get that "is he playing back at me" mentality at 10NL. I used to think like this and I found myself to be a big loser because I would call people down not believing what they might have (granted I at least had some sort of a hand). FOLD!

Raise more pre-flop in this situation. On the flop just put him all-in. Just don't put yourself in this situation....you know he's short.

The hard part about playing against short stacks is that once you bet the flop you're getting 3:1 to call, and that was even with an underbet. It's a bad call against AT/KT/AA/KK/2x, but his range is much wider than that: lots of pp's, Tx, possibly a flush draw or couple overs. Put him in right away, or be prepared to call.
