Default Re: Bad Move?

The pre-flop play is where you make the primary mistake. Everyone has a medium stack (10,000/1600 = 6.25 bb). This is a shallow money situation (short a simple). In the small blind (bad position) you bet 1/2 your stack (now you're pot stuck) if you are called. Weak play pre-flop is death. Three handed you only have 2 real options (1) you want to see the flop? (you call for 3 way action) or (2) you move in (bet and take it)
If you don't like A,Q suited through it away. Three handed and the button calls (makes a weak play). You make a weaker play bet 1/2 stack and fold to bet on flop. If you are behind pre-flop it's not by far (the BB has random cards and the button announces he has random cards). If you enter for a big bet you must commit to seeing the river.
