Why the tiny preflop raise?
I'd make it 12-15.

I guess your postflop line is fine.

Why not bet out the flop?

[GittyUP]

bigger preflop. makes postflop much easier.

He gives villain a chance to bet and commit with a non-Ax hand. Which, when up against a shortie, is fine IMO.

Raise more preflop, I prefer betting flop to checkraising

BLINK. Exactly. The questoin is, why 3 bet size isn't fine? If we were 100bb i raise only 1$ more then that, isn't 3x his raise + 1 or 2 BB extra to reduce his implied odds when OOP the standard 3 bet size? He was short so i figured 3x was fine.

What exactly does raising 4x his raise do that raising 3x doesn't when this short?
