Well the reraise is for the rest of his stack. I figured most of his range is draws and this gets him to put his money in with them.

im not 100% comfortable playing for stacks.
however, if i was going to play for them, i think im ok with your line

oh nm he's a shortie

fold pre? fold flop?

fold pre?

HJ with QJo? Not me sir

fold flop?

Given how tight this villain seems....even tho he's a halfstacker, I don't think a Q kicker is enough to stack him.

When I think about his preflop calling range, then what of that range would raise the flop -- I don't think we're very happy about getting it in here, so given that and the fact we're OOP we might as well fold the flop.

If you don't want to play for stacks fold the goddamn flop

If you don't want to play for stacks fold the goddamn flop

The question I was hoping you'd answer is more "Is it right to play for (half)stacks here in this spot against this villain"?


In these spots I like to use the difference between VPIP and callsPFR% to help narrow his range.

id be happier of you had KJ+ QJ is 'lolimightbegoodbuthesshortandihavetoppairandamnot folding'

If he's on more than 1 of my tables I fold flop if not just go with it.
