in this case i make a decent size bet at flop...which is hard to do with a $180 preflop bet. i'm not gonna let them chase the flush or str8 for free and i want to see where i'm at in the hand, feeler bet. hard to say what i do if reraised because i'm not at table and havent seen their actuall play. depending on turn i may ck or bet again, same with river.
Like I've said before, a short stack made a standard raise and I figured I could get a weaker shortstack hand to call me. Especially with the range of hands that he's raising with and my fondness for preflop aggression (possibly missplaced fondness), QQ is ahead of the field. I figured it'd be a quick and easy pot until button stuck his nose in things.
