Short Stack against H@LLINGOL and BBuddy

My rationale for not betting the flop after BBuddy checked was that I probably wasn't getting a call from either player without a J unless BBuddy was getting cute. I can't really think of a single card that I hate on the turn if I'm not already behind.

I would posit that one way to avoid scare flops killing your action when you have AA is to get more money in preflop.

true, especially with his short stack.

From my experience, you never want to smooth call aces preflop against H@LL or BBuddy. I don't your preflop play here. Jam river.

I really didn't have any "motives" here. I was sick of studying for finals so I decided to play a little short stack.

I'd like to point out the fact that I pretty much never do this and am admittedly a fish when it comes to short stack playing. I generally buy-in full at 2/4 or 3/6 on stars and was feeling frisky. This was probably not the best line up to learn short stack strategy against, especially as I am not as well versed in their play as everyone else seems to be.

Lets assume I made it $300 PF and both Hallingol and BBuddy call. Just push any flop?

If you wanted "max value" out of the hand then the play was to reload to full stack.
