Simple live preflop range question, 5/10
 

Playing 5/10 at Niagara, effective stacks like 1100 (I cover)

Horrible player limps UTG, I raise to 55. Shortstack looks @ cards, thinks for 10 seconds, fiddles his chips and calls leaving 200 behind.

Folds to villain in the small blinds, who quickly raises to 300 total.

Villain is only at Niagara because of the horse races, has rebought once already, both times with black chips. He just called a raise preflop from the blinds with 86o and called a diff shortstacks shove for $200 on a T54 flop.

He has played one big hand prior where he misread his hand and stacked off on a A88 flop with J9 vs AK for a buyin.

Anyways, folds back to you, and you know for a fact the shortie is coming along.

What range do you send?

I think a lot of what I'll shove depends on how he stacked off in both of those hands. It's different when he takes the lead, but I'd probably say QQ+ and AK because it seems like he's passive but when he raises I'm guessing he has a better than average hand.

How many players and what position are you raising from? If it's 9-handed and you're UTG+1, which it sounds like, I'd say KK+. AK is a quick muck and QQ is a tweener hand. Biggest factor is that he raised quickly.
