i don't like calling 365 with low pp

i see here u are doing it to call the shorty's all-in...so i'd prolly push instead of call to stop bb from following (your calling gave him over 3-1 odds!) and just play it hu

pushing/folding are about equal options, depending on how u read the opp...if he steals a lot, push...if he's tight, fold

calling is the worst of the options due to the &gt;3-1 odds you're giving BB

This isn't the time to call that big of a raise preflop. You're okay folding here pf.

Your stack is not deep enough to call this preflop. If you think the button is full of it (i.e. he likes to steal blinds a lot) you can come over the top allin, but if you respect his raise then just fold.

I see why pushing or folding are the two reasonable options (I think I should have folded this pf), but what do you think about the post-flop play?

betting into a dry sidepot has it's advantages, but i don't like it with your low chipstack...you are putting almost half of your remaining stack into that sidepot

he seems willing to check it down...i'd be happy to oblige
