On vacation in Aruba. Playing 2-5 in a friendly game that can be juicy with a mix of short-stacking tourists and deep regs (Max buyin is $1500).

Hero is probably perceived as solid but who knows. Typically entering pots by opening in position. Haven't shown down much and was down a little less than $200 from pots that were not very memorable.

Villain is a friendly Chinese-Aruban in his 40s who was chatty and good-spirited. He bought in for only $200 but had run his stack up to about $500. He doubled after shoving a combo draw (pair and small flush) on the flop and hitting his flush against top pair.

I had about $300. I would often top up to $500 but decided to grind it out a bit longer at this relatively passive table.

Button straddle for $10. SB folds, BB calls, I call UTG+1 with A9, villain in MP calls, button checks option.

Given I am playing only 30BB effective, I can see folding pre being advocated. I limped with a good IO hand given that table was passive.

Flop ($40) is 982

BB checks. Hero leads $25. Villain calls, button calls.

Turn ($115) is A

Hero leads $75. Villain thinks for 5-10 seconds and shoves. Hero calls.

Call... He can have axdd, big aces that he floated with, other pairs he called flop with that now hit 2 pairs... Super easy call ainec

Without commenting on fp, everything looks fine. You have top two and are short stacked.

you know about pf. otherwise, nh sir wp.

Standard post flop, nh.

is this hand a joke. obvious call

Standard shove.

Also Hero is at 300/5= 60BB eff.
