    Default Hands Vs damass shorties

    I'm trying to find the best way to handle these shorties in my games. They are basically a bunch of bad donks/fish and play poker like asshole. Sometimes, we have no idea what they have and cant even thinking about folding our marginal hand because their ranges are so wide.

    hand 1: villain is 62.6/8.3/1.6(Flop AF) over 48 hands. Did he play asshole here or trap me with better hands?

    hand 2: villain is 36/12/0 around 25 hands. Should i make any cb here given his tiny stack?

    1. This sucks, but I think you gotta just wait for a better spot.
    2. I just put him AI on the flop. He probably missed, and even if he didn't you might be slightly ahead of a flush draw. I think the EV is there to push.
    3. This one sucks too... we're either still ahead or drawing dead, and we have no way of knowing which. Without knowing how agro he is, I guess we might as well flip a coin on what the best play is. Does he have a flush here the majority of the time? Probably not, so yeah, push. I hate it, but checking behind really sucks since we have no way to improve over a flush. The only other option is to shut down, and c/f. Yeah, push by a nose.
