MP2: $11.30
CO: $46.20

Hero (BB): $4.65
UTG: $13.25
UTG+1: $50.30
UTG+2: $34.65
MP1: $12.05

Pre-Flop: A♣ Q♣ dealt to Hero (BB)
4 folds, MP2 calls $0.25, 2 folds, SB calls $0.15, Hero raises to $1.50, MP2 calls $1.25, SB folds

Flop: ($3.25) K♦ 8♠ T♣ (2 Players)
Hero bets $2, MP2 raises to $7, Hero calls $1.15 and is All-In

Turn: ($9.55) T♠ (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: ($9.55) 8♥ (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $9.55 Pot ($0.45 Rake)
MP2 showed K♥ 5♠ (two pair, Kings and Tens) and WON $9.10 (+$4.45 NET)
Hero showed A♣ Q♣ (two pair, Tens and Eights) and LOST (-$4.65 NET)

I seem to find myself in these situations a lot. Can i really fold with only $1.15 left? Would a half size pot cbet be better than 2/3s?

Imho AQ overplay.
On that flop first to go i would check and fold to any raise.
Gutshot, the far possibility of a flush and maybe a late hit of A/Q would not be enough for me.

But if you really want to cbet in such situations fold to any raise. The amount you have left is the amount you would donk going AI.

I would push this flop all-in any day with AQ given your remaining stack, texture of the flop and your outs.

I would raise to 1,75 pre flop because of the bad position after the flop

You make it sound like I'm playing BSS or something, I'm making a cbet because SSS tells me to. Calling the raise looks weak though, I should of probably pushed for maximum FE.

Yep push flop for maximum FE - since any type of bet here will commit you anyway.

From the article on Trashhand on the flop against one opponent:

You bet about 2/3 of the pot. If your stack is less than 1.5 times the pot you move all-in instantly.

reread the basic strategy, it is a standard push
