Message: [QUOTE="jeffred1111, post: 568717, member: 19935"] What you did was correct up to a certain point: you should've pushed all-in preflop as the hands that raised 5bb (High to med pp) will be more likely to call that all-in than call a bet from you on the flop if they didn't it or the board comes scary (59Q all spades for example). His fold was normal as was you reraising him: dude probably didn't like his 99 against a shorstack (as he doesn't get good implied odds if he hits his set) and I understand him. Had you had 120$, he probably would've called and you would've at least extracted a good chunk out of hist stack had the flop came 582 rainbow. This is the major drawback of playing shortstacked in a ring game, you're much less likely to get action preflop, unless from a hand that is probably in front. [/QUOTE]
