Seat 5 pass in SB
I call 2,500 into pot of 7,800 getting 3-1 for odds/value
flop
I check intending to check-raise the short-stack allin or hoping he pushes, he is looking down at chips fairly obviously.
He bets 3,000 of his remaining 8,000
Big Stack quickly announces raise to 8,000
back to me, I am thinking that the short stack is obviously committed but there could be a nice sidepot to be won if Shorty has AK for example
question is who has the King?
If the big stack doesn't what is he raising with?
I consider big stack is a possibility for KQ,KJ,88 but I am ahead of other pocket pairs, flush draw, Kx etc
I believe i have no choice but to push here.
Would you concur?
