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.

Re: Hand Review - Help
 

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.

Re: Hand Review - Help
 

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
