Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Hero is good at SH play. UTG+1 is LAA. He is also short-stacked: he had 4.25bb left in his stack.

Can we defend here?

How crazy does this guy have to be to make this playable?

Any suggestions on post-flop play?

I let this go. With 4.5 BB against a LAA you're not going to force a fold, and you could very well be dominated as it is. You have to hit this flop perfectly to take his money I think. Why bother?

Take a look at a flop. See what happens.
