    i like checking folding here, that flop hits a lot of villians range and he is probably not going to fold a whole lot.. we do have a gutshot but I do not believe this is the best spot for this...

    also having reads/stats on villian makes these decisions easier

    push over. shortys hate being pushed into. if he had a strong hand, he'd have pushed into you...given he knows what he's doing. he should be trying to double up at any opportunity. so, he only led a buck....on draw or you may be best.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

    imo, you have outs when called and a ton of FE. we need to quit being such fit r fold players.

    Exactly.
    I'd just like to clarify that I was being sarcastic and that this is absolutely horrible and a check/fold is fine.

    Just because villain is a shortstacker doesn't mean we should spew against him.

    lol what 4 outs? We don't even know if our 3 A's are good. Villain wants to get it all in obviously, whether he has a draw/second/top pair, he isn't folding. We have no fold equity. Sure our A high might be goot if the draw misses, but all the other times the draw completes or he has a pair at least.

    3000 posts and this is what you come up with.

    Check/folding is fine.
