    Default Reraise a shortstack with OESD = -EV?

    Table image:

    I made a sick call early on to double up. I had top pair, decent kicker and bet into a preflop raiser who way way overbet the pot all-in. It didn't add up (AA would have milked me) so I called and won. To the table I look like a donkey.

    Then over the past 1/2 hour I've raised 3-4bb preflop about 5 times with AQs AKo etc, but gotten 4 callers each time and haven't tried to c-bet on the missed flops. So I fold to bets and look like I can be pushed around...


    With that in mind, does this play seem even semi-reasonable or was I tilting? Should I have folded preflop? Reraised?

    Dump it PF, suited connectors are about implied odds and his stack is no where near deep enough.

    On the flop, well you have no fold equity and so you have to expect a call. With an OESD + 2 overs I probably make this move but here you only have one of four 9s to win and we don't know how many Aces remain in the deck.

    Overall, very -EV imho

    Flop is standard right?
    I only really play cash but if Im calling TJ pre I'm all in on that flop with these stacks.

    Preflop's terrible. For the love of Christ, fold.

    Shove the flop to maximize your FE. It isn't an overbet considering that a pot sized raise leaves you with about 400 chips.

    Not thinking about restealing in Level III after an 8x raise.
