NL set on monotone flop vs shortstacker

Tony Montana 22 · #1 04-20-2007, 02:00 AM

Villan is 58/8/.70 over only +/- 50 hands
but this seems like a common enough situation vs a loose shortstack and I guess I just can't see getting away from this hand for a half a buy in against an opponent that could be doing this with any big spade or spade-top pair type hands.

Villian has 50bb, that hardly qualifies as shortstack. I'd raise more on the flop 3bet.

Your 3-bet size is awful

Please don't minraise the flop. Bet pot and then either push over his reraise or call his push.

Pot the flop then re-raise AI. You cannot give a lone spade the odds you're giving him with your puny betting.

I missed the question. Your not asking for a fold here, are you?

I assume since its a raised pot you are looking to get it in on the flop rather than fold, so you should do it when he min-raises you. 3-bet much more.

hes doing this with the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9x more than enough times here to make this an insta call

3 bet more on flop. Get it all-in if that's how it works out.

Yeah you are right...it was a misread of his stack size on my part, thought I put him all in with the 3 bet and it turned out otherwise.
