Short stack backfired today. Dealt 88 in 50$ NL Raise 3 with 16$ stack, one caller. Flop comes junk (3 6 10 rb). I go all in. Guy calls.. Turn is inconsequential, river A. Guy turns over AK.

I read his AK perfect, but there was no deterrent.

Would he have called anything? Possibly. I got a bad image and a fan club because of it - the LaGG action image is hurting me and I may go back to tightie to catch my fans off guard.
