[JDErickson]

Opponent is SS and looks to be on tilt.

I think the flop was iffy but thought I'd get other thoughts.

I can't believe there are 2+2ers left who sit with so little money. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

I think SS means short stack, not Small Stakes.

[Trix]

Since he is shortstacked, you are getting 4.33:1 with two cards to come and will therefore need about an avg of 4-5 outs. You gut is worth almost 4 and the overs+backdoor easily takes care of the rest.

[MarkD]

I don't really consider your pre-flop raise to be much of a steal. You've got a good hand. That's just semantics though.

I think the flop call is close because your opponent is short on funds, but with your overcards I feel you have a call here and the turn plays itself.

[Tosh]

Oh right, good point, disregard. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

On the hand, the only thing I change is to jam it all on the flop when he has so little left.
