i bought in for half a stack. villain is about 24/16/5 over 80. he looks like he may call a little too much, based on stats tho.

i think barreling a blank river is correct since if he calls turn he can have picked up a number of draws, but i dont like the ace flopped since that may make it more likely hes calling down with one. i dunno so i ask

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

MP ($101.50)

Hero raises to $4, 1 fold, Button calls $4, 2 folds.

Flop: ($9.50) A, 3, Q (2 players)
Hero bets $7, Button calls $7.

Turn: ($23.50) T (2 players)
Hero bets $15

I'm inclined to just check/fold the turn. Harder to blow people off hands with a shorter stack (less leverage.)

2-barrelling becomes so much harder without a full stack.

C/fold turn.

why is it harder?

if its because non-full buyins get no credit then yes if thats true, but if its because there's not enough money behind, well there is here.

i both agree and disagree. there's a certain amount of leverage gained from a shorter stack in that villain thinks its less likely he can bluff me since i dont have much left behind. also, doesn't apply much here tho since stacks are too large, with a shorter stack if i bet such and such and will have like 1/3 pot left on river he's gotta be thinking that thats about as close to as good as going in on river at least.

im not sure if i like the double tho. i didn't feel like getting floated

You have no implied threat. Fnord got an awesome thread started about it a year or two ago.

Also, why barrel the river if you're hoping he's on only draws? You beat draws on a blank river. But best to just c/f the turn like the others said.

I wouldn't bet the river with a fullstack or a shorter stack. I don't think they fold near enough here.

Anyway, this is one of those spots where I just bow down to position and let him have it. You can't contest every pot you get into.

I rarely give shortys the respect of the FD. If they are playing sooted trash and playing short I will take my money all day. Even though here you are not really short.

You also posted that he has a 5AF and has called two streets. I find this is a slow play a ton when aggros are calling and not betting the draws

The only hands that'll call are hands that beat you on the flop, and everything else will raise.
My sig is too much for you to handle.
