Default 200nl short-stack live cash game

Max buyin is 50BB in this live 1/2 game in dude's garage. So anyway.

Hero (CO): $80
Villain (BTN): $100

Hero is dealt 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Three limpers, hero limps.
Villain raises to $10, three or four callers, Hero calls.
Pot is ridiculous, like $50.
Flop comes T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero bets $40, Villain calls.
Turn is 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], completing flush.
Hero goes all-in for $30.

My reads here are: this is a homegame I've never played in, but is playing pretty much like NL25 online. Lots of limping, raises are going to 3BB regardless of limper situation or position, etc. Villain hasn't done anything crazy, but there's nobody in the game thinking on level 2.

I'm not too worried about the result, but I'm more interested in how I should play short stack. I'm used to playing full 100BB stacks online. With a full stack, my line would have been pot flop, check the scary turn (and call if I was getting odds to draw to my 10 outs), and only proceed with a FH. With a full stack, I'm obviously happy to punish his hearts draw with bad odds.

With a short stack, I would obviously have to call with my last $30 into a $160 pot, but I wonder if I mismanaged getting there. I like having more options.
