fold. This was not a bad spot to take a shot at the pot. The SB has shown great strength with a check raise and unless you think he is pulling a fast one you are beat.

I raise preflop, bet more on the flop and obv insta-calls this raise.

Yeah, I raise preflop a majority of the time too, and since CO is allin, you might as well call because he's doing this with hands you beat.

yea snap call, you see shorties doing crazy stuff in these situations, you see like lower PPs a lot IMO. Yes, he could have you beat, I just don't see myself folding this

We really need some stats to know. There are two different breeds of short-stackers: the ones who are just donking it up and want to get all in, and the grinders. Against a grinder, you fold. He wants you to call, and he has a good hand. Against the donk, this is an instacall. You are way ahead of his range.

Absent reads, instacall.
