he has 78 fold

In my experience, usually when he bets $12 here he's weak and when he bets $64 here he's "strong". I put strong in quotes because sometimes he isn't that strong, but I think his range is at least one that AK is behind and you have no FE.

So I'd fold.

[wiggs73]

If his range has a bunch of flush draws + pairs like 8x, 44-77, plus sets, you're about 38%.

If his range is more weighted towards 8x, your equity gets substantially worse.

I don't think you're ever better than about 40% here unless he likes doing this with complete air, which he might... but readless I'd at least assume he has some piece / draw.

You don't have great equity ever, he isn't laying you a good price to call, and I think you rarely have any FE.

Meh, just fold. If he bet like half pot I probably shove.

I just don't see a case for doing anything else here.

Fold, move on, you have few clean outs and zero FE.

i mean shortstacks are really [censored] annoying...and i can understand why you might want an excuse to kill him, but this isn't the hand to do it with. i feel like even if he has a flushdraw it's gotta be close to 50/50. so best case ur 50/50, worst case, ur way behind. and losing money to shortstacks is the worst thing u can do.
