Two hands against short stacks

Gregatron · #1 07-14-2006, 02:33 PM

so, Empire gave me $15 free for play 150 raked, and I built it to just under $60 at 25NL -- go me! So anyway....

I know this is a multiple hand post, but it has a theme -- in both I am against short stacks. I think both of these hands might be totally standard, but I just wanted to make sure.

Hand one -- read: none. This guy just came to the table and bought in short.

Flop: ($2.35) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Greg bets $1.25, CO calls $1.25.

 Considering how short he is, I want to bleed him. I'm not too worried about giving a cheap card here, since even if he hit a flush I'm calling any bet he would make.

Turn: ($4.85) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Greg bets $2, CO calls $2.

Again, I'm trying to string him along.

Hand two -- read: villian is fairly tight, and bought in for $5.

Hand converter messed that up a bit -- it should be 2 players, 2 all in.
