Dealing with short stacks and All ins, Stars 2/4 AQo

[Dagger78]

Preflop raiser is a donk that just took a bad beat, complained about it and is left with $12.50 before the hand.

Preflop 3 bettor seems tagish but only over 50 hands.

Coldcaller is 75/15/1 over 40 hands, I don't believe he'll fold a pair.

My thinking is to bet(and probably be raised) by the original raiser and put him all in on most flops(he has only $4.50 left on the flop). I think I figure to have the best hand here a decent portion of the time, and would like to use the steamer to eliminate players.

Any merit to this, or am I deluding myself?

postflop is fine but dont go out of ur way to find spots to do this. preflop i just fold though

sometimes I call sometiems i cap AKo (depends how important i think it is to see if the initial raiser caps)

Always nice to be able to take advantage of a tilter, but I don't think this this is the right time to do it. Hand's just not good enough.

Sounds like a plan. It only cost 3SB in a 16SB pot and if you're behind you have outs. Knocking out 2 other players is good.

Can you really be so sure, that 2 other players will get knocked out in this spot?
