This hand cropped up, I raised in the MP+1 and got flat called by the cut off seat. I only just moved to the table so had no history, I pot size the flop and get min raised agains't the orginally caller. Obviously at this point, I'm pot commited near enough and shove him expecting him to turn over a flush draw.
The question is, is it correct to be with the blinds this small betting pot sized and willing to stack here? I guess it's quite feasible to say people flat in position with 10's/Jacks or more (if deep stacked) and I can expected being shoved with Jacks+? So I narrowed it down to suited/un suited connectors with his short stack as most would ship it here? So, was this bad to shove when I'm raised(min)? Opinions? Is this standard play and would most be making this play at this stage with 25/50 blinds? Still relatively good to fold and wait where I'm a bigger favourite? Like I say I did put him on two over cards and also a flush/straight draw maybe I didn't think he would be beating me at present.. Oh and he's short stacked so, maybe even just ship the flop to start with or?? Either way, I thought at present I had him beat but I expected a straight or flush draw along with two overs. So, profitable shove with the current blind levels? Of course with him being SHORT, and he only has 500 behind left, it's an easy call, right? The question is - is this a shover POST FLOP ?
How would some of you better players be playing this hand?
