$25NL; Playing against a short stack

I think I played this poorly.

I get two callers, including a short stack who leads at a low flop.

Judging according tot he fact I have no idea how he plays, he may have a pocket pair, so yeah I think you played the post flop badly. That situation was either a re-raise or a fold. Calling just asked for a shove on the turn.

Short stack was relatively new to the table, I hadn't noted anything yet.

Reraise or fold Emperor?


I don't think I'm reraising because there's a bigger stack who checked the flop who still might be interested.

Oops, didn't notice him. Generally speaking it's a reraise or fold situation, but with someone that smallstacked there's no way to scare him off the pot, so I guess I'd personally would've folded.

Since they were new to the table they could've raised just to display an image, and there's a good chance they caught a piece of that flop.

i would probably float & call the turn and use it as cheap advertisement.

Whatcha advertising, joose?

That when you raise pf you're serious? Or that you don't take the short stacks seriously?

that you have the capability of floating with nothing on 2 streets, or that you might be a calling station.

It is one of things if you think he is bluffing call him since it is a small amount of you money or fold and save the $2.

Fold flop bet.

Raising her has zero fold equity. She bet 2$ and has 2$ left. Youve only put 1$ i the hand so far, dont let the fact that its a shortstack sucker you into more ueselessly.

Unless you have some kind of read from previous hands that player does this with crap or is tilting, then you could call or raise (both seem same 2 me with stack sizes).

By the turn, id probably call i guess. Might still have outs.
