100NL - 88 vs Shortstack

[brutalBeater]

I have a big problem playing against shortstacks. There are a lot of them and I always seem to be the one who pays them off.

How should this hand be played against unknown villain?
Should I have made smaller CB and fold to a CR, should I even make one?

i generally check here, you are praying for KQ here...Check/folding is standard. If you have him beat I think a short stack will take a scared stance and check down not wanting to lose the rest of his bankroll on a stupid bluff. These guys generally play with their tail between their legs if they dont have top pair so that they can keep playing longer.

just give up on flop unless an 8 rolls off

I always take the same line you took against people THAT short and I often see random stuff like A8 here. I think you played it fine, nothing you could do.

Checking the flop can't be bad here. Depending on the texture of the board, I might just bet about half their remaining stack instead of standard cbet size, but at that point, I'm thinking just check behind, mostly giving up.
