    Yeah, slowplaying it happened to kill you here. The bets are absolutely trivial since a BB would only be 100. As a big short-stack to him, you probably have to make that turn check-raise an all-in. Check-raising 100 into a pot that is only 275 just isnt' going to impress him.

    I'm not sure if the second spade should have scared you or not, to be honest. It would be an accidental if the other guy was carrying two spades, though many people would have followed that light betting with suited connectors.
    Note: new guy and very open to constructive criticism, so go ahead and weigh in! I'm here to learn.

    AI on the raise, you're giving pretty decent odds to either draw to call. Top pair probably calls you here and you win a nice pot, everythin else folds and you win a decent pot with 96o.

    Perhaps, but as short stack (practically) you need to get what you can here, IMHO.
