Raise much more on the flop. Probably check the turn, though it depends on how much of a monkey my opponent is.

I fold this pre-flop unless the players are maniacs.

The reraise is only 5% of the shortest stack and you have position. Plus you will frequently have the best hand anyway preflop. Calling here should be +EV against almost every type of opponent.

No way I'm folding this pre-flop for $9 and those stacks! In fact, I'd pay even more to see a flop unless the raiser(s) are very solid players. You'd be surprised how many times this is 99, AQ, AK, etc.

[Synth]

agreed.

I took no notice on Stack sizes when I answerd, I mearly looked at the flop action and replied.

So in conclusion; bad advice due to a lack of reading. This is a must call just like Soah and Jslag said.

Bah! I hate that Bush image of yours.

I think I probably should have raised more on the flop or pushed the turn... I had been playing at the table for a couple of hours and everyone was raising with any two face cards. Knew I was ahead on the flop...turn slowed me down though. He ended up showing Ac9h [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] which is one of the hands i put him on at the end(hence the check), even though any club would have taken it...
