$100 NL

Short stack buys in for $25, posts and pushes UTG+2. Folded to me on the button and I call with 77. 95o flops a 9 and he doubles through.

Next hand he pushes again and I call with ATs.

I luv to gambool with those pushing shortstacks too, especially if I already have a decent stack I call them with any pair 77 or above (sometimes also lower, even 22) and with AK AQ AJs KQs and KJs. Somehow I really don't like AT, except as a cheap drawing hand in a multiway pot. Of course I do run into AA or KK occasionally - but much more often I see hands like KT, J9s etc, sometimes even stuff like 27. Must be donks who watched too much WSOP or just busted out of a tourney and feel like stealing some blinds on a money table I think overall these calls are way +EV. I wonder if an even bigger range of hands to call with would be more profitable. No credit to the shortstacks!

I love to gambool with them too, as long as I can close the action. Especially if he is on my left...

Shortstack lemmings pushing with crap are funny. They buyin for 20BB and push evey pocket pair or high cards only to be called by other lemming and get busted. Then they reload and do the same. It's like Dwarfman's challenge, but why they do that on $25?

I don't get that "shortstack" method, IMO the deeper stacks the better. But they gamb00l for fun and I play like nit, maybe thats why...

My favourite spot for GAMBOOL is pair + flushdraw combo draw
"How could I call that bet? How could you MAKE that bet? It's poker not solitaire. " - that Gus Bronson guy
