Tight Poker

I'm in the bb with k8 and there are 5 people to the flop (KcQc8c). I bet out $10 on the flop (the pot) and one guy calls. Turn is a 4d. The other guy only has $45 left. What's your move?

Shove. You often get called by the NFD, and I would assume he is holding the Ace of clubs seeing as he is the only one who stuck around. Any bet commits him so just stick it in and hope he didn't out flop you. The only alternative is checking to see if you can get him to bluff at it, but if he checks behind and river is the death card, it's game over and you only have yourself to blame.

So the pot is 30$ and you bet 45$?

Well he's only calling the already made flush. But maybe he won't. This is hard here, since his call doesn't yield any information. He could be a donkey and have called the awful odds bet on the flop, or he could be slowplaying an already nailed flush.

If you check and he bets that doesn't mean he's bluffing or semi-bluffing, it could be a value bet.

In the end, does he suck?

If yes, push
If no, suicide.

A shortstack donk only calls all in with made hands? Where are you playing? Yes, the pot is about 65 percent of his stack so I stick him in. Standard.

I don't know just wasn't as easy for me to shove here. I'm probably doing it, but if I get owned I'll be mad for hesitating and doing it anyway =P
