The shortstack has no reason to put hero on a strong hand (he called a small raise in BB). Nor does he have reason to think hero is bluffing. Therefore, he probably puts hero on a medium-strength hand like a 7, straight draw, whatever. Getting 2-1 I call for sure unless I know the guy who is pushing.

I feel like it's a close decision, but slightly -EV. Short stack or not, that's a decent raise he made and your pot odds are not great.

you're flipping a coin vs a flush draw since he's going to have outs beyond the flush. sometimes his flush draw is a favorite vs your 9s, but of course with the pot odds if you put him squarely on flush draw you call. unfortunately, he's quite possibly on a medium strength made hand like the tens here. he has to have a fair number of weaker made hands in his range to make this a good call, and i don't think he really does.

i tend to call here because i hate short stacks and never respect their bets, but if i've seen this guy playing solid i'd strongly consider folding.

I agree with Creed's perfect analysis.
