Maybe Pokey will respond to this one. I hate these spots so much.

he looks like a huge station at 50/10/.6 I think you get enough value out of naked flush draws and Ac5x etc here to bet pot/shove him in. You have a flush draw and an open ender to bail you out too when he shows up with something like KT also, or even a set, so I like slightly overbetting and pushing passive short stacks in in these spots.

Give it up, you played it fine. I think people care a bit too much about shortstacks. If he had 100BB you wouldn't put more money in, right? And I don't see any reason to put anymore money in here either (unless he had like $3 left or something). He won't bluff with those stats, so check it out.

i shove here. villain has tons of naked FDs here and you have pretty solid equity against his range.

Bet. His hand probably hasn't improved much by turn. If you're going to bet flop (which I would have too), have to bet turn that doesn't look to have improved his hand much. You have position, and a hand with sd value, imo., with room to improve...and he hasn't shown strength at any point.

I just go all in. Sometimes you'll get schooled by QT, but he has A

, straight draws and smaller pairs a lot too, and they will all call the turn if they called the flop. Shortstackers are not known for folding the turn.

Against a reasonable players range a turn shove looks pretty bad, but we have no expectation of this given the 50/10/.6 and the short stack. Like others have said he will be calling you with such a wide range of hands you have to shove. Even if he happens to have a T or 2pr or something, you still have outs. Youre only dead to made flush but it seems unreasonable to assume this player has one. I would stick it in and feel good about it.
