I wondered if I played this hand too aggro (villain certainly did) but seeing as he was short-stacked I figured I might as well go for it. Had he had more chips behind I may have ended up folding turn giving him credit for a king or AA etc.

Yes!

This is an example of protecting a possibly second best hand. Raise at most once post-flop. Be happy to check down the river.

EDIT: I used to think that everybody with a short stack is desperate to lose all of it. It's easy to get that impression from some of the videos. ["He is shortstacked. We might as well try to get it all in."] I handle these situations differently (and better) now. I am tighter preflop vs really short stacks because they can't be bluffed out. But somebody with 6-7BB left is probably not that keen on check-raise bluffing it all away.

[Naturally, you won the hand. Reality always proves me wrong. ]

Preflop is ok but before weget deeper in this hand, 2 questions :)

a) what did you think when capping the flop

b) what did you think when raising the turn again on his donkbet?
