lol at people saying fold because this time the flush was good?

Am I on my own here? Am I the only one who would consider folding ?

40 bigs is shortstacking in a low limit live cash games, where 6x opens are common

Joe if your playing that stack and calling the raise you cannot fold this flop even if extra people join the table with their own deck of cards and shove before you.

The reason why i would not fold is that he only have 40 bbs
you cant afford to see many flops and fold when you miss or when things get funky

you have hit this flop pretty hard
so you have to shove your chips in as fast as you can

OK then fair enough

Funnily enough I was dealing the £.50/1 last night when a pot was raised to £4, five or six way all-spade flop, small blind bets out, raise and re-raise then he folds an eight-high flush... and it was the best hand.

The small blind was sitting with £100 but he couldn't believe it when an overpair and some other non-flush hand were shown down.

Perhaps I've been playing too much Omaha?

I do maintain that £40 is not a short stack on the £.50/1 game. Preflop raise is usually £3 or £4, even after some limpers. You could happily set-mine with a stack of £40 in this game, and you could raise preflop and bet every street. Thats not a short stack.

In my mind a short stack is a good size for 3-bet shoving preflop, or raising then having one bet on the flop. Now if you're sitting on a £1/2 game with £80, and the preflop action goes raise to £7, call-call-call-call, or raise to £12, call-call, you definitely have a short stack because there's no way you can profitably peel a flop with a speculative hand, and you have a good stack for making a profitable shove.

So it depends on the game rather than just saying '40bb is a short stack'.

40BB is the equivalent to a 4 inch penis.

Pretty useless, and you usually have to shove it in and hope for the best

where do you work?

I dont see many places which raise 3x or 4x
its normally limp or 6x to 12x pre.
But I normally play at the casino in salford.
