SB is 11/7/4. I just wimped out. Is this too weak?

Facing a pot sized bet on a raggedy paired board?
Unless you have a good read that SB is passive or very profitable, get 'em in. Just push, the pot is huge compared to your stack; or raise smaller if you think you can fool him into thinking he has some FE on the tiny remainder of his stack.

I disagree. I see this as an easy fold. If you shove and lose you are down to less than 3BB. Take your fold equity and live to fight another day.

If SB had a trey he is going to try for the CR you if you lead. Most likely he is protecting a Tx hand. And since his kicker is better than yours the best you can hope for is a split pot if the board hits higher than his kicker. Not a good scenario.

Why do you disregard calling here? In situations like this i think shoving and folding are both equally bad. We dont have to make our decision immediately. Id call flop and if he bets again on the turn id prolly fold.

Because by calling, we are calling for 22% of our stack, with top pair also, so I'd say we are commiting ourselfes.

Vs this particular opponent, who are aggressive and seems rathere good with 11/7 stats, I think we can remove a 3 here like all the time, and I also think he will bet air here alot. I get it in.

I get in because as PPHot said, it is almost sure he has a lot of air hands in his range. And when he has a T you're gonna split a lot.
