2nd barrel vs short stack (he asked for it)

[Ra_]

Is this too agressive? It sure felt good. Looking back on it i'm not sure though.

He's fairly new so no real reads, but his turn bet screamed weakness.

Shorties usually don't fold if they have any part of the board if they make it as far as this one did. I hope you learned your lesson. Don't screw around with shorties. Don't bluff shorties. Make a hand, TP will do, and put 'em all-in. Or put them all-in preflop with a big pair/AK.

I'm gonna agree and if he was drawing the turn card probally helped.

At the time i was thinking him showing weakness and the fact i probaly picked up 9 outs, was enough to justify it.

No, that was him "trapping" you. Call and suckout if your name is AJ, call and suckout if you are me and lose to his A high flush.
