Hi,
how one super weird hand from 5.50$ tournament. Got A9s on btn and shortstack opens, decide to just call (on bb is a big stack, and people opening with shortstacks usually have strong hands, so maybe even call is not so great). BB calls as well. Hitting top pair, low kicker. Original raiser bets just 1bb, I dont want to make pot big so I just call, bb call. Turn looks like air, again 1bb bet. I am kind of suspicious so I just call again. River looks like blank again and shortstack fires it up for pot size bet. After quite long time I called, because the line was so weird that I though I could have best hands or he could just have some bluffs. What do you think? How would you play it against fish like that?
