    Fold pre with poor set-mining odds.

    c/f flop, by raising I presume you're bluffing as can't be for value lol, then he raises again easy fold.

    Hi Dave. Fold pre due to stack size i would say. Dont like 3-betting out of position so its a standard fold in my opinion.

    As for flop play, its a check fold for me. As played then again its a fold when he shoves although i do have my mad moments where i just feel he is bluffing but it cant be good long term.

    Bit of a sick beat in the end but i think you may need to think about stacks pre flop with small pocket pairs.
