BB ($33.65)
Hero ($99.90)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls $4, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls $3.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($13.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

River: ($107) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $107

I made this move because of his stack size, any better way to play it?

Anything that gets his stack in the middle is good. But note that many free cards will hurt you, so betting out might be better on the turn.

did he buy in short or did his stack dwindle down?

i noramlly dont give any respect to guys in the pot who buy in short, just becasue thy tend to pick a hand, and decide they want to double up with it no matter what. very often its only top pair, or any pocket pair and theyre praying for a miracle.

so like those guys said, get it in on the turn

Short stacks don't deserve respect. They're nearly all awful players or people taking a shot. I'd need serious persuading before I didn't take one to the felt with a strong overpair.

I'm guessing you lost to trip 9s

No, he actually showed KK. it's not a set every time [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

But if I think I'm ahead, why push him out on the turn?
