PokerStars - $0.02 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BTN: 138.5 BB
SB: 28 BB
Hero (BB): 226 BB
UTG: 135 BB
MP: 154 BB
CO: 79.5 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K♣ K♠

fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2.5 BB, SB raises to 28 BB and is all-in, Hero raises to 226 BB and is all-in, fold

Flop: (58.5 BB, 2 players) Q♣ 8♥ 8♠

Turn: (58.5 BB, 2 players) 6♠

River: (58.5 BB, 2 players) 6♣

Spoiler

SB shows J♥ A♣ (Two Pair, Eights and Sixes)
(Pre 29%, Flop 14%, Turn 7%)
Hero shows K♣ K♠ (Two Pair, Kings and Eights)
(Pre 71%, Flop 86%, Turn 93%)
Hero wins 56.5 BB

Are we coldcalling the shortstack to induce an isolationshove from BTN? (I would think BTN Pushes with any AK here.)

Yeah, you could flat it. 28BB is good enough for me. I highly doubt that the BTN will come along though. It's like flatting a 4bet pre with possible trap.

Yeah, flatting looks trappy, shoving looks like AK etc vs a shortie, and is (I think anyway) more likely to get a caller[1] from one of the later positions
