why are you shortstacked? always have a full stack! flop is fine but i would check/ fold the turn. I think pushing the turn is better than this aswell. unless villain is not a maniac this is pure spew in my opinion

You left yourself an awkward amount of money behind on the river.

LOL true, its because in the previous hand I doubled up villain when he rivered the nut flush, and i bet my QQ hard throughout the hand.

So, i should always try to have minimally 100BB in my stack?

For what's it's worth, if I could I would play every big bet Hold'em Hand 50bb deep unless pre-flop over-bets are being called (live play mostly.) It comes down to if you think you'll play better deep and if you're winning then you'll have to play deep or table change anyway.

Anyway, potting the flop sets up a much more resonable turn bet all-in.

Yeah, I thought so too. I didn't really want to bet/ call big here.


Do you ever buy in short?

In short, having more money makes for easier decision making. As for the hand, I think this is a must-fold, even considering your stacksize.

this is good advice for more advanced players such as yourself, but i think buying in for 100bbs is still the best advice. And when did 100bbs become deep?

i've agreed with martin 100% in the last few threads.

As for this hand, I'd recommend pushing turn if you have decided to put anymore chips into the middle.
