    Default Got raised on the flop with TPGK - Now what?

    These spots are such a pain for me, especially oop. I'm ahead of most draws, mid pp's, Kx, and bluffs, and behind 2p, sets, and ak (which probably would have reraised pre). There are more hands I'm ahead of than behind, but if I'm behind, I'm way behind, and being out of position and with a pot that could reasonably be expected to get large, I want to fold, but that seems... weak. It's BvB and I've got a hand, I just don't have a plan for the last two streets.

    Villain was an unknown.

    Raise>>Fold>Call

    Your C-bet is way too weak, and he noticed. 3-bet to $17, fold to a push. If he calls, well, that sucks. Oh, just noticed he's only sitting on 64BB's... Ugh. Any stats or reads on villian? For your "average" bad shortstack, probably 3-bet flop, call push, or open push turn.

    Playing for stacks with TPGK against shorties is profitable mostly, just high variance.
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!

    Ewww this isn't a pretty situation.

    Bet more on the flop, at LEAST $3. What makes this hard is that villain is pretty shallow. After his flop raise he has $24 behind in an $11 pot, so if you make it $16 to go I think you're pretty much pot committed to a push.

    I think its +EV to get it in but its close so pretty high variance here, but yah I make it $16 to go and call a push.
