VS Shortstack
The popular thing to do at PR seems to buy in with 1/10-1/5 a full buy-in. I'm finding it pretty annoying. How do I go about situations like this?
PokerRoom No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Hero ($98.50) MP3 ($122.40) CO ($67.60) Button ($146.35) SB ($19) BB ($89) UTG ($107.50) UTG+1 ($109.70) MP1 ($77.70) Preflop: is with 1010 UTG calls $1, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">HERO raises to $5</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB calls $4.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG folds. Flop: ($12) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333"> Hero? Can I bet things like this without committing myself? Betting small encourages a push with whatever he has and checking is incorrect if he holds anything that isn't paired. If we're in opposite positions heads up, is the best move to C/R him all in if he's very likely to bet a checked flop?

Re: VS Shortstack
When I play against a short stack, I make them commit their whole stack as quickly as possible. If you don't want to put him all in on the flop, try a $9 bet (he has $14 left). If he folds, great - take the 1/4 of his stack that is already in the pot. If he has a J or 4, I'm paying him off.

i'd just bet what he has left [/ QUOTE ] doesn't that let him play perfectly in this situation? a J or 4 calls, and his missed overs are 50/50 to call depending on just how bad he is.

[/ QUOTE ] problem is shortstacks like playing face cards. they like to checkraise/call down. this happened before and a different villain shows KJ Top Pair and beat my 2nd pair. what if I had AK instead?

Re: VS Shortstack
Alot of shortstacks are very eager to get their money in as soon as you show weakness, if this is one of them I would most likely check/raise(or call since they might go allin) which will catch missed overcards and random PPs hoping for an easy pot.
If he's a more passive type I would choose between betting his stack and check-fold or check-call looking for a cheap showdown.
