Villain is middle aged Asian no real read yet this hand happened about 15 minutes after I sat down, stack ~$125.
Hero - TAG image at casino some regs at the table. Stack ~$300
Two ep limps. Hero makes it $10 with QQ in mp. CO calls, villain calls in SB, ep limpers call.
Flop: 6-3-2 two diamonds. Pot ($52), villain and ep players check to hero. Hero bets $35, CO folds. Villain raises the remainder of his stack all-in, everyone else folds.
Hero?

With that stack depth and SPR its nothing else you can do other than stacking off.
Also bigger pre please after 2 limpers to give everyone worse implied odds and to setup an even easier autoastackoff on boards where we flop an overpair. I would go around $15-18 here assuming its a 1/2 game.

Snap calling. V has a draw or a pair+draw very often here, sometimes even a smaller overpair. If he has 45, just kick yourself in the nuts for raising so small over two limps.

Given villain's stack I'm not folding. Without a read that says otherwise you have to give villain enough flush draws to make calling profitable.
Preflop isn't nearly big enough unless table is super tight. At most 1/2 games I would open this to $12-$15 without any limpers, with limpers $15-$20.

Asian and short-stacked?
Snap-call
Agree $10 is too small pre

Petrucci summed it up best. We should be stacking off here with this SPR. Raise larger preflop.
If effective stacks were $400 or more it would be an easy fold.
With effective stacks of $240 or less, I feel like its a clear call.
If effective stacks are between $240 and $400 we have a tricky decision.

You have to call because he only has 85 behind. I would expect to win more than half the time.
Agree that you should raise more pre-flop.
The sick thing about a 6-3-2 two diamond flop is that when you're behind, you're crushed.
His range, imo, is 2-2, 3-3, 6-6, 4-5, a-2,a-3, a-4, a-5 of diamonds, 6-5, 3-4, 3-5 the occasional a-6, 6-7 and random diamond draws, as well as 7-7 through j-j. It's hard for me to see villain showing up with k-k or a-a but it is not completely impossible.
I'd call and not love it.
