Default $10 max NL hand, thoughts??

Since I have been plugging along playing limit, I thought I would play a little NL for kicks tonight... This was only about the 15th hand at the table, and these guys were a real class bunch.. I had been re-thinking the short-stacked theory of no respect, so I bought in for $4 and was going to see if I could get no respect. I set this guy up pretty good 2 hands in a row after I showed a stone cold bluff and bet him off a good hand and then 2 hands later I raised 4BB PF with AQ and got him to call with A2o and he called a 20BB bet on an AQ8 flop! I'm sure he was looking for a little revenge and thought I was a total donk... Would any of you tried to play this hand with this info any different??


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (5 handed) CP hand converter

Button ($9.25)
SB ($7.70)
BB ($9.60)
Hero ($5.70)
MP ($4)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with , . MP posts a blind of $0.10.
Hero calls $0.10, MP (poster) checks, Button raises to $0.2, 1 fold, BB calls $0.10, Hero calls $0.10, MP calls $0.10. Good implied odds to hit my set with buttons min-raise, no?

Flop: ($0.85) , , (4 players) So, I hit my set with overs on board, exactly what I wanted
BB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, Button bets $0.4, BB folds,Hero raises to $2 A 20BB CR? Alarm bells should have been ringing!, MP folds, Button raises to $9.05 Exactly what I was hoping for! , Hero calls $3.50 (All-In).

Turn: ($15.40) (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($15.40) (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $15.40

Results in white below:
Hero has 4c 4s (full house, fours full of jacks).
Button has Kh Kc Dumb ass min-raises on the button with KK????? (two pair, kings and jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins $11.85. Button wins $3.55.


So, by buying in short stacked I cost myself 35BB which is pretty big in BB terms, but on the other hand did I net more on this hand because of my earlier play and the whole "he's a shorty, he cant really have anything" mentality?? I'm going to try and do more short-stacking for a while and see if the same kind of play continues..

A fitting end to a good night, up $300 from my SnG play and a nice MTT cash after that..

This is why I never play shortstacked. If I fall 7 or 8bb's under the buy-in, i'll get back up to the max.

Very nice hand, though.

i was thinking about this shortstacked, no respect shit the other day wondering if it would really work... Personally i never do it. The reason is that when hands come up like this i don't get paid off in full, i'd rather be a larger force at the table, i'm looking to bust the guy with more then the max buyin at the table and i find it easier to pick up the smaller pots.. There are also ways to gain disrespect at a table with a larger stack by playing very aggressively and loosely...Part of my game is to attack the short stack, they have less chips, which means they have less plays in there arsenal. I feel the un-won money on these types of hands probabley in the long run out weighs the smaller amounts of money made by playing with a short stack.

We've argued it here ad nauseam. Everyone states their case. It turns into an "I'm right. You're wrong" repetitive, juvenile pissing match and no one who's actually arguing changes their mind

I dont think he was ever laying down KK at $10NL, probably not even if an ace flopped.
