    Default 100NL - AK pf, 3bet from 1/2 stack

    I had raised last two hands and taken them down pre-flop, no other reads. Super easy push or call and re-evaluate flop?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($109.35)
    SB ($100)
    BB ($55.25)
    UTG ($146.90)
    MP ($223.35)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with A, K.
    2 folds, Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, BB raises to $13, Hero ...

    I'd probably just call and try to outplay my opponent post flop.

    Stacks are too small compared to the size of the pot to "outplay" someone postflop.
    Usually I stick it in here, but I'm capabable of folding here if I know opp is a tight raiser, even if he's a shortstack.

    The key difference here is "is he a shortstacker like Eupho" or has he lost half his stack and sucks at poker?

    If its A) you should probably fold, as at best youre 50/50 with me (actually, its like 45/55) If its B) shove shove shove.
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

    Ah, yeah, left that one out. Buys in for half because hes a passive fish who sucks and is scared and/or doesnt have a full buyin.
