No real read on villain, but I've bought in short and am playing what must seem to be pretty erratically. What's our plan after the flop?

2p, straight draws, royal flush draw? bet...You're a favourite over a made straight at this point anyway, might as well start building a pot.

Are you shortstacking on purpose? Seems like all your hands are less than full buyin.

I didn't know I was ahead of a made straight, that's cool.

So let's say we have A10 in the hand as the villain, how do we play if we have no redraws to speak of? Try to get it all in on the flop and fade like it's our job, or fold to a 3-bet?

And yes, I run 4-5 tables and half-stack.

Gah if you're a decent player and can consistently win then not buying in for a full stack is costing yourself money.

Nah, I bet/call as villain with naked straight and no redraws to wait for a safe turn. Chances are we're either dodging, chopping or worst case scenario getting freerolled. There's no shame in folding a flopped straight on a drawy board when there's a shitload of action and you don't have any redraws.
