JJ from Button

[jhall23]

Comments? I had recently been getting a string a good hands and had been raising PR and betting out the flop. Could look I am bullying more than I really am. With only the two small stacks I was willing to go all in since I had an overpair. This look like the best line? I think it's pretty standard but want to check.

PS, I just can't believe how often I am getting called on my PF raise by a short stack on UB and then folding them when I bet on the flop.

Raise more preflop. With 3 limpers I'd consider making it $2 here.

Also, the stack sizes here suck. I'd bet enough to put the larger of the two short stacks all in on the flop, since on the turn your bet is essentially meaningless as it is so small compared to the pot. Always try to anticipate your next move when you raise, and in this case you would have seen that the stack sizes suck for the next street. Push it in!

Ni han, sir.

I would bet atleast the full pot on this flop. You have a good hand and with shallow stack sizes don't mind putting one of the shorter stacks all in, but it's as vulernable as a young girl after prom.

I agree 2 would have been better for sure. I don't remember there being 3 limpers (I was at work) so typically I would bump it there.

The pot to stack sizes was definetly weird which is why I posted this hand. I definetly think a higher raise is in order on the flop after review. Not sure if I would just pot it or put in ~10 to get the smallest stack all-in. Was definetly suprised when the small stack folded the turn.
