    Default Missed AJs against TAP

    Villain is Tight-Passive/Passive(Typical PT mouse).Haven't seen him really make too many donk plays.

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO ($24.30)
    Button ($34.75)
    SB ($10.91)
    BB ($49.28)
    UTG ($11.20)
    Hero ($26.40)
    UTG+2 ($53.87)
    MP1 ($37.78)
    MP2 ($4.40)
    MP3 ($23.75)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J, A. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $0.75, 6 folds, SB (poster) calls $0.65, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($1.75) 9, K, 2 (2 players)
    SB bets $1, Hero raises to $4, SB calls $3.

    I decide to raise and drop the pressure point on him;if he calls I can pretty much presume he has me esp if I miss the turn.Normally I wouldn't do this against a rock or mouse;but his sudden bet seemed suspicious(not sure why he would play a monster like this knowing I have been playing a tight/solid game).

    Turn: ($9.75) 9 (2 players)
    SB calls $6.16 (All-In), Hero folds.

    At this point I have to dump;I don't even beat a slowplayed AK or AQ.Even though I could still be ahead(presuming he is bluffing some garbage flush draw), I still can't risk it against a shortstacked TAP.

    Final Pot: $15.91

    Thoughts and feedback are welcome as usual.Does anyone just dump this on the flop?I am interested if anyone elects to call and take one off before making their decision on the turn.

    I don't really understand why you say "then I know he has me" when you have nothing.. you're basically waiting for outs here, why not just call? (or fold)

    I had been contemplating both;but his bet initially smelled of a draw trying to price themselves in.I felt calling/folding was way too weak;and my table image at that point was beginning to become borderline(course I can always switch tables).

    why push a short stack around with nothing?
    make a hand push it hard, otherwise LET THEM steal insignificant pots.
