Re: (55) 2nd pair + gutshot bubble
you absolutely have to check fold here. Button could be limping with a small ace, instead of raising, because of the short stack. Maybe he doesn't want to take risks with say A7. But more importanly you have no room to bet with your left over stack. You have 12xx, it's just not enough to bet and then fold. You have position on the short stack, you're basically a lock for CASH. Check fold.

Re: (55) 2nd pair + gutshot bubble
but its a very very obvious sign of strength
i wouldn't get involved with anything less than 2 pair or a straight AND flush draw if the villain regularly limped then it would be a different story but as its his first there are obvious alarms going off |

This is a donkish button play any way you look at it. It's not fun, but I agree with the check-folders. Pushing is obviously second-best, but I think it's a distant second. |

Check-fold. Yeah. Ace on board = scary.

Re: (55) 2nd pair + gutshot bubble
i pushed, figuring i'd have 9 outs if i got called. in retrospect and after reading the posts, i think check/fold would have been better. getting a-i with a 9-outer sucks.
as it turned out, villain calls with a8o (and i suck out... hehehe). |

Re: (55) 2nd pair + gutshot bubble
If you're going to be this aggro, why not just push pf?
I'm certainly a check/fold guy here. For obvious, non-card, limper reasons. |
