The reason i decided not to raise preflop was because i didn't want to have to bet/call an ugly flop like Q-7-10 vs the shortstack.

Benny, i almost went with a smaller raise then decided if the regular had a draw he would be getting great odds to call. But he gets good odds with either sized raise so i can see the value in a smaller one. If the shortstack had pushed over my smaller raise and the regular called, would you call/raise?

Also, why don't you guys think a $35 bet gets called more often than a $90 bet given the board texture?
