Re: am i PC\'ed here?

What I meant was, normally I would be risking 150 to win 75, which is fine.

i don't have to call the shorty's push. if i want to i can fold, and then i am "risking 150 to win 75." but, i can do better. calling is better than folding, so now i am "risking 150 to win 75" except when the SB pushes, where i am doing something slightly better.

However, if the shortstack reraises me, suddenly I am risking 435 to win 75, where when I get to showdown I win less than half the time.
In other words that fact turns what would be a borderline +EV steal into a -EV play.

the only reason the shortness doesn't make the play better is that SB's range is looser.
