Stacks:
CO
($69.30)
BTN
($52.30)
Hero
($51.60)
BB
($23.20)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 4 players) Hero is SB

2 folds, Hero raises to $2, BB calls $1.5

I make it 4x vs the 1/2 stack BB. BB seemed to be loose passive and weak post flop.

Flop: ($4, 2 players)
Hero bets $2.5, BB raises to $5, Hero calls $2.5

I c bet 2/3 pot and get mini raised. I'm never folding to a half stack so I just call and give him rope to hang himself with a bluff or smaller ace. I don't think he has AK because he would usually 3 bet it preflop. He could have a set but I'll just pay him off if he has it.

Turn: ($14, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $5, Hero goes all-in $44.6, BB calls $11.2

A decent turn, and I check to induce a bluff and raise all in.

River: ($74.8, 2 players)

Final Pot: $46.40

BB shows:

Hero wins $28.4 ( lost -$23.2 )
BB wins $44.4 ( won +$21.2 )
