    Dastrey: ???

    Can somebody convince me that there is more than one play here?

    UTG raise. The guy didn't seem like a donk from the short time i saw him at the table. I put him on AA-88 AK AQs. If i have an average chip count i probably fold, but am I forced to push here with 10bb? If I look up his stats and see that he is a winning player does that make a difference?

    Its not a tough spot. Short Stack poker is easy and mindless. Pick a hand and go with it.. This is it.. Get it in and double up or GTFO and fire up another one.

    Well, If you call you have only 7xBB and that much to play with if you have to fold after flop. You will not get any further fold eq with that stack.

    If you fold you probebly not get better hand shortly.

    Have you seen he bet with big pair before?

    I would had shove, Your stack hurts him and he might will fold JJ, AJ and KQ.

    If you have 77+, AQ+ and a raise in front of you is more than 1/5 of your stack, it's always an easy shove.
