[4_2_it]

You need to raise more pre-flop. You raised to $3 when there was already $2.40 (4 callers and blinds). You gave any decent holding nice implied odds. Bump it up to $6. You know short stack will call with his pp. You just need to find one other victim.

As played, against a 71% VPiP I make this call and expect to see any two cards. Might be a straight or goofy two-pair or TPNK. Would help to know if he is just a preflop maniac that plays well post-flop or if he has been showing down middle pair consistently.
