Eh, I really hate a c/r here.

I'd much prefer a lead or a c/c and play some poker on the turn/river.

Hmm maybe i'm an oop, but i think c/fing the flop is fine...but if you want to continue i like leading.

I'm curious as to why we would lead here.

to win the pot

Leading is standard, and I would lead here with a very wide range including nuts and air. c/r get it in seems terrible. if you had a little more like a gutshot it may be closer but still probably bad.

+1

And check/folding is certainly reasonable too.

I would never do anything involving folding on that flop.

In reality I just c/jam vs that stack.

Vs that stack size i happily get it in, I would lead like others said but as played check raise smallish to like $42. Sometimes that gets fishier players to give you credit for a stronger hand than you have. In general though I think it is good for the games to gamble it up with the shorties. Makes it fun.

Lead is the best option by far. If you check/call you find yourself check/folding a tonne of turns. Check/raising just because he's short is just bad here. And obviously we're not folding.

b/c seems to me as the best play...c/r and c/c and c/f sucks...
