50NL: Question about c-betting shortstacks

[mystro]

hand 1, I bet less, like ~$2, and fold to raise, unless I am convinced that villain will shove with air here. Also, I fold PF AT, but maybe I'm a nit.

hand 2, I am more willing to call against any villain who is not playing 18/13 type game... Many villains here are raising draws or overcards since there was no paint on the board and they feel they need to double up.
Actually, in hand 2, I probably bet pot on the flop against a non nit and call a shove. But really this would be read dependant, many players at these stakes go nuts when they're very short

Seems like the responses are pretty divided. I guess nobody knows how to handle these situations. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I like c-betting in both hands because I think I still get folds a lot. In the first hand I think calling is okay. The second hand, maybe I should fold.

Hand 1: You don't need to C-bet as much against short stacks. $2 would probably be enough. As played - call if they are likely bluffing (if you have a read). Otherwise i'm probably folding.

Hand 2: Same really. Without a strong read, fold.
