Situations like these bother me sometimes. Villain has to call, and normally I would go for it with any two cards because there is enough money in the pot, but this particular villain was playing lots of hands. If I had folded, could I maybe count on him getting busted in the next few hands?

As it turned out, I lost the pot and became the short stack, and then ended up getting 4th.

PokerStars - $6.45+$0.55|200/400 Ante 25 NL - Holdem - 4 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

CO: 22.08 BB
BTN: 33.31 BB
Hero (SB): 9.12 BB
BB: 2.99 BB

4 players post ante of 0.06 BB, Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.75 BB) Hero has 2

fold, fold, Hero raises to 4 BB, BB calls 1.93 BB and is all-in

I think shoving ATC here is a must. You can't fold here and give him essentially an uncontested double up.

Your right he will call every time- at least he should- but you are getting more than enough odds with T2, and will be ahead some of the time vs a random hand. If you lose your stacks are about even so by no means a disaster.

Can't worry about the results, but I think you increase his equity in the game too much without putting him at risk if you were to fold.
