wow u called pre, i assumed its either a shove or fold depending on your estimate of opp range. calling is never good here!!
Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

Once you call preflop I don't see how this can not be a c/f.

Push the flop. He's going to fold.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

If I was villian I would go for stack-a-donk alot here vs shortstack &
check to him on flop, letting him shove all his mid pairs etc & more into my AK.

So if I was in your scenario hyper I would check fold.

Pre-flop is tricky, as peoples 3bet range vs unknown shortstacks are pretty tight - I mean they're going to have to call if you shove pre, so they're unlikely to be 3bet a hand they wouldnt be happy doing this with.

I think a shove pre-flop is best though its pretty close.

Currently thinking of a new quote/signature... Some sort of prayer to the Poker gods for enlightment etc..

hmmm, i'm experimenting with the half-stack strategy and i guess i still haven't really adjusted to preflop 3bets/4bets yet. i always call a 3bet full-stacked in position with JJ.

he had AA. gg, nothing i could do.

you are in position but he raised you (UTG) out of position. Considering pot/stack size pushing pre is best, but I think a fold is better considering his raise in respect to your position. In other spots I'd push.

this can't be a fold pre vs an unknown for 42bb... we are shoving in $78 to win $175 (after rake). We need about 44% equity for shoving to be neutral EV even if cold caller folds 100% and bb calls 100% which is worse case for us obviously.

it's easy to construct a BB range that we have only 40% vs but that would (IMO) be too tight vs an unknown and also assumes 0 FE which probably isn't true although we obviously will have very little.

i like shoving over calling pre. stack sizes are kinda awkward and we are put into awkward spots like this too much. cold caller complicates that even more.
