simple preflop decision against shortstacker

[Xanta]

How much does the concern of getting shoved over by the UTG raiser influence your range?

Not that much. But him calling and me being OOP with a dry sidepot and having to dodge possibly 4 overcards or an overpair is not a scenario I'm very happy about.

i lean towards a fold, but if i decide to play i'd just call. im not too concerned about being oop postflop vs the bad player, he's rarely gonna make you fold the best hand.

one big way that bad players screw up dry side pots is by betting in dumb spots, like with a low flush draw or with A hi or something. utg is either going to make hero fold the best hand sometimes, or utg is going to stack hero when he has a bigger pp or outflops 99.

55% is too high I think (I think the answer is 52% but haven't checked the math). 5% total chance one of them will have an overpair, and our equity will still be 20%. I don't think that will shift our equity that much

gj schwza, thats the kind of thing we need more of to beat these clowns. you're right about the sidepot thing too, i've been "bluffed out" of a lot of dry or small sidepots by dumber players in my day.
