How should we play this situation against a short stack? We are not going to give up our TPTK, but there is a potential str and FD on the flop? I probably bet the flop a little light, but we would face the same problem on the Turn with a 2/3 pot size bet on the flop. We give the short stack near perfect odds to call our Turn bet, which puts him AI. :(

Is the best play to shove on the flop?

Hello Cooleyman,

Nope, I would most likely play the same way! Nice hand! :) Don't be result oriented, no point to shove the flop vs his stack while he will have hard time to Call with a lot worse.

Best Regards.
