What do you know about sb..... anything? Fwiw, I'm insta-calling here unless you know he is a super nit, often shortstacks are on tilt looking for double up so they will shove hands 77-QQ almost always, its only 50 bb's and if your properly rolled this is usually +EV, its A Q/ Ax more often then K K or A A, and your flipping the rest of the time.... plus you already have 4.5 in the pot, meaning its 22.75 to call a pot of 33.... 1.45-1......which gives you amazing odds if you expect any pair other then the 2 that dominate you.

Min-raise/push without any further information? I let this go. Coinflip at best, usually you are crushed. Odds are good enough for the coinflip. But villain is not THAT short that he will push desperately with any crap.

reads on shortstack?

if he's a good shortsack fold - if he's a bad shortstack snap call.

he's probably got a small pair - and then you're flipping. the times he has AA/KK are balanced out by the times he has AQ or something else you dominate.

How short he needs to be to profitably call here is a straight math problem.

work out a likely range for him - compare the pot odds you are being offered to call to the equity your hand has vs that range...
