Well shortness isn't much of an issue if deciding to call an all-in bet on the river unless you think he is more apt to act a certain way when short.

Of course it is an issue... DUCY?

Trying to come up with why it would be an issue, but can't figure it out. I can see it definetly being an issue on earlier rounds, but on the river I don't think it much matters, it is purely an odds problem.

You are getting 3 to 1 to call. So if you think that more than 25% of the time you have the best hand, you should call, otherwise fold. Without a read it is hard to say, but it seem reasonable at least to think this.

Edit: Is it because with a shorter stack you don't mind losing it all as much with a good but not great hand? So if he had the same size bet, but with more money behind, it would indicate more strength since he was putting those chips at risk too?
