You have just over 10 BB, and the villains stack will be greatly diminished if he calls and loses this hand. You applied max pressure against a stack you could really put the hurt on, outside of a read on this player, given the data presented, this move is pretty standard.

Call, bad, shove, good, you basically want to isolate him, are prolly ahead of his range, with some good dead money in the pot

With 10bb's better spots are going to be few and far between. A must push here. Well played.

At 100/200/25, easy push.
Here, good push against like 90% of villains.
