My read on the villan was that this guy was a loose player, had a wide range and was playing kind of foolishly. When I came on to the room he had 150BB or somewhere around there, but then I seen him play a few crazy wild hands like K9os and A9os I mean this guy was calling raises with this hand. Check out the hand that I shoved with him, he had a straight. I knew it, but there was a chance he was bluffing. And I hit two pairs, I didn't wanna back down from two pairs or better. And he became short stacked, just a little less than 50BB and I hit a a full house on the river. Lucky! Right? DONKEY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

What's your take on this decision?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (BB) ($2.24)
UTG ($0.49)
MP ($0.95)
Button ($0.41)
SB ($1.36)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8, 9
1 fold, MP calls $0.02, 1 fold, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.06) 9, 8, Q (3 players)
SB bets $0.04, Hero raises to $0.16, 1 fold, SB raises to $0.52, Hero raises to $2.22 (All-In), SB calls $0.82 (All-In)

Turn: ($2.74) 7 (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($2.74) 9 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $2.74 | Rake: $0.10

 75BB+ is not being shortstacked. Dont post or say results when posting hands. If ur read is that villain is a loose agro player then getting it in with bottom two on the flop is okay.

Contradicting things going on here. Also, this is the wrong forum for this hand. It should be in the bad beats forum or whatever it's called now. If you want to improve, spend your time studying and posting hands you have genuine questions about instead of dumb shit like this.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
