Why did u check/call the flop?

[ajmargarine]

Just c/f on the flop. He's probably got 77 or A2 and will suck out on you on the river.

...........

What the heck are you doing? You pfr, flop tptk agst a shortie and c/c a $4 bet.

Lead, get it AI on the turn.

ok let me clarify a couple things, button was a tight ass, i have not seen him bet without something, MP1 had 7$ left after the flop so i was pretty much playing this like i was heads up with the button...i did not see what the guy would call preflop that i had beat and would call my bets...i see that i should have got it in as hes a half stack, if hes a full stack is this ok?

[StatusUp]

play it much quicker, try to get it in on turn vs aj/at/a9

I don't think this line is OK no matter what the stack size. There are probably a few ways to play this, but at some point you have to fire. I would bet 3/4 pot on the flop and probably again on the turn a naked ace is his likely holding. If you get raised, you pretty much have to call because he is short, but:

A) that is unlikely to happen;
B) it may not even be bad if it does happen.

This is the flop you were hoping for... play accordingly.
