OPP was a loose short-stack buyin.

i call because its only 50bb

I'd call, I think a set may play it that fast on the board and if he really is that loose Ad and a board pair is also a possibility. I might raise the flop harder as well, less than 1/2 pot is just asking for a lone Ad or Kd to tag along and outdraw you cheap, or try and push you off the pot as you have displayed weakness.

I like the small position bet for a number of reasons...

a) I use the same line as a pot builder in multi-way pots with the flopped nuts
b) cheap way to take down the pot if no-one is on a strong draw or flush
c) the pot is multi-way, making a check-call for overcalls line very profitable so it limits your exposure if that is the case.
d) If you get a call and the 4-flush hits.... you are out of the hand cheap.

VS a single player, I agree that a larger bet is warranted but against a school, I try to limit my exposure in situations like this when I could be way be hind and drawing to a single out.

I did end up calling, because the raise was way out of line with the way an average player plays a flopped flush. The push said TP + nut flush draw, set, or two pair to me. Turns out he had 67 for 2 pair. If I had raised the pot, making this read would have been much harder since his raise of my bet would have been more in line with 3-4x my raise instead of 3x the pot-size.

I like your reasoning.

When it's mutiway I do not try to go out of my way and bet the pot, especially 4 way action..

I'm hoping one of the three has something and is willing to make that call.

The turn is another case.....

However, I would have bet 13 on the flop b/c it's such a prettier number .

I can't imagine him just pushing the nuts. Call, he probably just has one of 'em.
