argggg i knew someone would say that.

I have a hard time min raising due to the complex nature of the bet. I often feel like i fold the better hands and call with worse just because i am lost in the hand after min betting

After PokerStoving this, you are getting 1.61:1 to call. Thus you should call if his range is as large as 77+,A8s+,K9s+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KJo+,QJo.

Since he is a short stack, he might be pushing this bi of a range against a button raise, so as played, I would call.

However, I do not like your preflop raise. With your small stack, raising 3BB on the button with a 15BB stack in the big blind is asking for trouble. Check the stack sizes of the blinds before you make your preflop raises. Raising here basically pot commits you to a push from the BB. Before you raise here, you must ask yourself if you are willing to put in over half of your stack with A8o after trying to steal some small sized blinds?
