This hand is an example of how passivity can do you a lot of damage in poker.
Villain was shorty stack in CO with13 bb with JKo with 66% equity vs 34% T8o against me in bb and he decides to limp and play passively.

Thanks for sharing, In my experience I have been on both sides of the fence in this situation. I can see why he would choose to limp being short, but should have at least bet more preflop with position. Villan should have reraised post flop. Especially with a rainbow flop. Of course, they were probably worried about pushing more into a AT or AQ hand. Also, for the CO to call a bet that is essentially a third of their stack on a straight draw is just bad game play, hoping to hit. I can not say I haven't done this same thing before on tilt and while underthinking the situation. Good raise on the turn on your part.

Preflop
With BTN being so short and the players in the blinds both having much larger stacks I dont like min-raising a hand like KJo, since it just invites a lot of pressure both preflop and on the flop, if you defend by calling. So his choise is either jam or limp. Personally I jam for 14 bigs, but having a limping range in this situation is not completely unreasonable and could even be GTO. T8o should of course just take a free flop.

Flop
I think, leading with second pair in a limped pot can be fine, but I think, 25% pot is a bit to small. KJ have so little left behind, that he should just jam his OESD with an overcard to give himself fold equity.

Turn
As played pretty standard for both players to bet and call respectively. I like your turn sizing.

River
As played also very standard for both players. KJ can not fold now, that it made top pair, given that the SPR was only around 3. You could be bluffing or jamming a hand like QJ or Q9, because you dont want to check and face a decision, if he jam.

Results
Personally I jam KJo preflop or as played on the flop, but that being said this was also just a bit of a cooler for your opponent. Improving to top pair on the river doomed him.

I think a little differently in this situation with 13 bb either fold pre flop or push

The CO player is very weak, because of the position on the table and cards he had, he is all-in and pulling a pot. There were 3 players left with very low chip counts.

It's a passive style of play, but he 3-bets. He was in the bubble, I think that's why his fear. However this style of play is not uncommon in the 888's micro field, many players have these tendencies, which is lovely.:)

a questão do bet do tamanho do pot no river colocando o CO de all-in é a cara do blefe, não faria esse tipo de jogada, ele com o stack reduzido e pagando sua aposta no turn, também representa um range de mãos interessante. talvez uma trinca, e quer que você veja mais cartas para conseguir extrair, porem não foi o que aconteceu. obrigado por compartilhar!

I made 55% of the pot on the flop ;)

On the river I put him allin, and looking like a bluff is bad on the river? Another question I ask you is: with pairs of hands would he limp the CO with 13 bb? I recommend that you translate the posts into English, so other members can interact with your answers.:)

a very clear example of a bad game, he wanted to go in to see the flop with such a short stack and if he didn't get to fold, stay with a shorter stack, the draw played a bad joke on him, the man in the tilt was clearly it

You bet 2.000 into a pot of 8.000. That is 25% pot not 55% pot.
True you is correct , I was wrong
