    Default 50NL Relatively basic PF spot

    Holdem No Limit - $0.5 BB

    Button ($114.45)
    SB ($100.57) [Hero]
    BB ($114.37)
    UTG ($46.50)
    MP ($22.98)
    CO ($78.47)

    Hero is SB with Q, A
    Preflop: (6 players, $0.75)
    UTG folds, MP calls $0.50 and raises $2, CO calls $2.50, Button calls $2.50, Hero raises to $8.25, BB folds, MP raises to $22.48 and is All-In, 2 folds, Hero ???

    No reads on either of the players.

    How do you like the initial re-raise? What's your move to the 4-bet push by the shorty?

    Your 3bet is way too small. There is $10 in the pot, so your raise sould be $12+.

    $20 into $35? Super easy call.

    I disagree. You have to consider that you're likely drawing to a 3 outer or less against a reasonable opponent. If he has AA KK QQ AK this is a -EV call.

    What do you know about villain? The whole decision is based on it. I would fold, but that's just me protecting a stack when I make it. It's not necessarily +EV to fold. I just like outplaying people in smaller chunks or with more defined edges.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    I thought it was 100NL so he was a 1/4 stack. Still, I can't assume a <1/2 stack 50NL buy-in is reasonable

    Still, if you can put one more hand unpaired hand in his range it becomes a call. Sure I pay off all the shorties KK+, but this is something worse often enough to be profitable.
