What do you think about the popular tendencies of raising from CO/MP3 with short stacks on the blinds. Do you think most villains raise tight when the blinds are short.

Mostly they tend to raise/fold (especially with his stack size), so I would usually shove that spot. You have more fold equity than you think.

Calling flop and for example shoving flop or taking c/rai should also be fine

best regards,

Hi all,

If you call preflop you should actually take a check/call line on a lot of boards (including ones you miss that is). You need to be extremely careful with stop'n'go-ing with king high hands because when you shove flop, very few people fold ace highs, so what you're actually doing is making them make a very, very good decision against your specific hand (folding when beat, calling when they beat you).

Anyway I'm putting it in preflop, lots of people just don't pay enough attention to adjust their raise range here. Also, if he had shoved 10bb effective, this would be a snapcall in Nash (this is a pretty weak argument, but it does mean that we're never "losing money" getting it in in this spot, in that if he was too tight then we're just printing money from his walks).
