How was this type of play against the short stack. I usually look for this since short stacks don't usually need someone good to go all in so I thought my overpair may be good and I didn't want anyone chasing for the straight. Any comments?

Looks like a fine way to play it to me.

Okay, once again, I seemed to have not included the results when i meant to. He had 86 for the flopped straight. I seemed to be haunted by 86 that night.

Quick omaha insert- you have the 88 for "blockers" of the straight so it's statistically highly unlikely anyone has a straight here. Against anything else you pretty much have odds to call the last $2 (you have 6 outs against a set or overpair for instance) and I don't see how you can specifically put the short stack on a hand that has you beat from his initial weak lead, so raising is fine too. In summary, I can't see a single error you made here.

should i be looking for these situations? Trying to put the short stack all in to isolate when I have a decent, but vunerable hand? It would seem a lot of money can be made by trying to get the short stack to push all his money in with a weak hand because he "feels" desperate because he only bought in with $5.
