Daily 2/4 game. I am 2 stacks down.

Villian is semitight young guy who is semiscared money

.

Villian 2 is a solid reg.

V1 raises to 20, V1 calls. Im in BB with 64c. I call 20. I have about 210 €. Both cover.

Flop: Tc8s6h

V2 (SB) checks. I check. V1 bets 25. This bet looked very weak. V2 calls. If he had a hand here, he always raises.

I shoved.

Normally, I would prefer a raise to a shove, but since you don't have a full stack, I would lean towards passing. I may raise to say 100, but your stack size makes this difficult, since you would then be pot committed to a shove. The problem you have is that it is difficult for a shorter stack to execute a squeeze AS successfully, since you don't really have the threat of future bets. So while it is good for you to be able to limit your losses with a smaller stack, it also gives your opponents some comfort because they can only lose what you have. Also, V1's flop bet is suspiciously small - not sure if this is weak or strong.

Isn't this a straight up fold? You have bottom pair. Why try a squeeze on a board like this without even a pair + gutter? I think this is a simple fold.

Being so short, you can fold preflop. Please rebuy full. Also, even if we decided the squeeze on the flop was ok (which it isn't), I would avoid the play since you are stuck two buyins and your image is probably that you are tilted (even if you are not) thus you are getting called lighter and wider, something which works against us here.
