10 Handed, B&M Casino, $1/$2 NLHE

Hero is in MP3 with JJ ($82)
Villain is in MP2 and covers

Preflop:
2 Folds, MP1 limps for $2, MP2 Raises to $12, Hero Re-Raises to $32, 6 Folds, MP2 4-Bet Raises to $87, Hero?

Just so everyone knows I'm short-stacking due to being at the end of my money for this trip. That's why I'm not sitting with a a full stack in this hand.

Villain is relatively new to the table but hasn't gotten out of line at all and has been playing fairly conservatively for the last 20-30 minutes that I have seen him play. He did 4-bet fairly quickly in this spot, so are we ok to fold, or is stacking off ok too? I feel as though this decision could go either way, fold or call. Barring any reads, what is our standard here, or do I have discretion like I stated previously? Opinions?

Put it in and hope for a flip, only $82

he has AK or AQ suited you have to hope. or madly agressive with tens. He wants you to ship though ( shipes for 87$? you have 82? hes over betting on purpose to look like a tard is my guess).

Ship and flip your cards first.

50 to win 125...get it in there and hope for AK. I dont really see V doing this EVER with less than 99+/AKs (given description) but its 50$...spoiler?

Since you're so short, his range is pretty wide to 4bet here. If you were like 100bb, he'd probably be 4betting extremely tight, like QQ+ and maybe AKs.

Conversely, in this spot, a reasonable shipping range against a 41BB stack here is probably something like TT+ and all of his AK hands, which you have more than enough equity to snap. You have 43% equity against that range, you're getting 2.3:1 on your call so you only need 30% equity to call. This is a pretty easy snap call. Even if we tighten his range to QQ+, AK, you still have 36% equity when you only need 30%+.

Why aren't you jamming pre? Don't think you have any other choice with your stack size.

As played, the pot is 119 (the extra 5 obv doesn't count) and you have to call 50. You are getting 2.4:1 so you need about 29% If you range him as only QQ+, then it's fold. But if you include JJ+ and AK (which you should), then it's a snap as you'll have 36% ish. Not to mention he could have AQ, TT, 99 etc knowing you are on your last money.

What he said. 3b/fold is terrible here w/ your stack size.

3bet shoving pre is optimal here
AP, u kinda have to call given odds

I guess this pretty much answers my question. I guess I am having a hard time believing that TT or 99 would be in MP2's range given he 4-bets me All-In. But I suppose it could be? Why would 99 or TT 4-bet me all in here though?

Yeah it would be. But Villain's stack size was about $150 at the start of the hand. After I 3-bet, there really isn't enough in his stack to induce other player's at the table to call my raise. I think what I did was fine provided I get it all-in on the flop no matter what. Also, not every player would call my $82 All-In 3-bet with AK or AQ in a 1/2 game. Wouldn't I be narrowing the range of hands that might call me to almost exclusively QQ+ or PPs in the least? With possibly an occasional call from AK or AQ? I don't think I would see 99 or TT call me if I raised all-in pre. But they probably would not call my 3-bet either.

Jamming here is stupid. We are never getting worse to call or better to fold. We have a great hand in position, let's try to get some value.

I'd rather call the $12 here than jam preflop.

As played, tough situation. You're almost always crushed, but have $32 of an $82 stack invested. Not much you can do other than call and pray that you hold the rare times he has AK, or get lucky against a bigger pair.

If you're nearly done playing, both time-wise and monetarily, than I could understand WANTING to fold so you can continue playing, but you'd be leaving yourself $52 to play with - not an enjoyable situation at all.

You can't bet 32, only to fold JJ with $50 left and ~115 in the pot. I prefer shoving first, easy call now.

PS even though you don't want to shortstack, while shortstacking you should still employ a shortstacking strategy.

I think with your stack size his range is considerable wider.

Considerably wider if I jam pre or once it's 4-bet back to me?

I'd figure he meant when it gets 4-bet back to you. Player like this might see that you're short and not mind as much going to war with AQo or TT

You have to call if he has AK in his range (which is probably does).

Your stack size is what got you in this mess. 3betting with 30-50bb's is super tough because we can't fold to 4 bets, and if we get to the flop we cant fold on flops like Q 9 7ss when we have 1010/JJ.

No way you can fold, you clearly have the odds to call. Also 3betting without knowing what to do against a 4bet (did you really expect to get flatted here or were you hoping just to get a fold?) is a big mistake.
