Am I seeing monsters under the bed? I just couldn't figure out what he would have limp-called with. A lot of hands had me in trouble: AQ, KJ, KT, JJ, TT, Q9. Does anyone push against his relative short stack? Anyone else fold? Thanks - this is my first post, please be gentle!

this is a really bad fold

i would shove vs this stack 100%

Given villains short stack, I push here.

terrible fold.

[NittyBumppo]

OK, the more I think about it, the more I agree this was a poor decision. What if he had a tall stack, though? Call the pot-size bet to see what he does on turn? Or raise him on the flop to see how serious he is?

[Bukem_]

Don't raise him on that flop, you sometimes induce raises from hands you beat, but you can't really stand a push.

100b call, re-evaluate is usually good.

raise it up baby, his stack is so short that he's probably desperate and just wants to double up with marginal holdings


push it to the limit
