Hello,

I assume against the Short Stack normal play? I'm ahead against some Kx combinations and Flash Draws.

PokerStars Zoom, Hold'em No Limit - $0.01/$0.02 - 6 players
Hand delivered by Upswing Poker

UTG: $2.01 (101 bb)
MP: $1.06 (53 bb)
CO: $2.03 (102 bb)
BU (Hero): $2.01 (101 bb)
SB: $2.66 (133 bb)
BB: $5.16 (258 bb)

Pre-Flop: ($0.03) Hero is BTN with A K
1 fold, MP raises to $0.05, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets to $0.16, 2 players fold, MP calls $0.11

Flop: ($0.35) T 3 K (2 players)
MP bets $0.11, Hero raises to $0.60, MP raises to $0.90 (all-in), Hero calls $0.30

Turn: ($2.15) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($2.15) 8 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $2.15 (Rake: $0.08)

Spoiler

Showdown:
MP shows T K (two pair, Kings and Tens)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 25%, Flop: 84%, Turn: 93%, River: 100%)

BU (Hero) shows A K (a pair of Kings)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 75%, Flop: 16%, Turn: 7%, River: 0%)

MP wins $2.07

If You raise on the flop I do this with higher size, puts opponent all in. On this flop in 3bet pot vs short stack, all in with top pair top kicker is ok.

I would raise smaller on the flop. 30c is big enough when villain has only 60 more behind.

Cheers,

Easy jam flop. Raising there to 30c like SDK1987 suggests is mistake because stack to pot ratio is low and you want to charge his draws and worse top pairs. If he had deeper stack then calling or small raise would be better alternatives, but on 50bb it doesnt make any sense.

I don't think we need to over bet shove the flop, but with a small raise you can still induce as well.
I don't think a flush draw will ever fold if you are raising small or shove.

After the flop donkbet the pot is $0.46. You decide to raise more than 1x pot, to $0.60. Which weaker hands will call? You think he comes along with KJ, KQ like this, donks 1/3 pot and calls a raise? His 1/3 bet looks like a valuebet... I wouldn't put him on flushdraw (I guess he might bluff that bigger or check/call). So I guess his range is Kx, and 33 which he bets for protection or value. So yeah why not raise like to $0.35 :) When he then jams over the top i think you still have to call though.
