    Default Turned Nuts, funny stack sizes.

    What's my play? UTG is a kinda-fish short-buy. Stack sizes are kinda funny.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    SB ($116.85)
    BB ($163.80)
    UTG ($113.30)
    MP ($92.85)
    CO ($204.85)
    Fnord ($245)

    Preflop: Fnord is Button with 6, K.
    UTG calls $2, 1 fold, CO calls $2, Fnord calls $2, 1 fold, BB checks.

    Flop: ($9) A, J, 6 (4 players)
    BB checks, UTG checks, CO checks, Fnord bets $6, BB folds, UTG calls $6, CO folds.

    Turn: ($21) 9 (2 players)
    UTG checks, Fnord bets $15, UTG raises to $30, Fnord ???

    I'd probably just shove, I don't think he is folding given that he's short.

    I think all-in is best here.

    A re-raise sends the same message no matter what size you make it (that you're playing for stacks on turn or river). His hand can't really improve unless the board pairs and he boats you...just stick it in now and hope he calls.


    EDIT -- I guess if he's a crappy fish you could just min-raise him back hoping he pushes over the top of you, though. He's already check min-raised you on the turn which for crappy fish-type players that usually means they *really* like their hand...

    No real "wrong" way to play it against a player like you described, but a river board-pair plus push by villian would suck here.

    Go all-in.
