i fold preflop. QJ is a drawing hand, and one that doesn't play well in raised pots at that, plus you're oop

Faced with less than a min-raise all-in, I would definitely call. The small stack could be on a flush draw, but even if they have AA, you still have the odds to draw to another Q or J.

Re: Call this short-stack push with top pair?
You have to call, and likely lose.
But why bet this flop? You have top pair, but a pair lower than many likely PF raisers pocket pairs ( AA, KK, QQ ) -- he is short stack if he committed 15% before the flop he isn't folding -- stacks that short rarely fold. If you are going to bet put the short stack all-in but I still think it is not a profitable bet. You want at least a redraw to a straight or flush to make this bet. |
