NL50: AK Out of Position vs Short Stack

[Roma Norgy]

Villain is a 33/17 after about 50 hands.

Should I not be reraising in this spot preflop? Do I c-bet here? Any c-bet pretty much commits me to the pot, how small does a short stack have to be in relation to the pot to warrant putting him AI on any flop?

Just put shorty all in on the flop.

Sure, he may call with TPWK or any draw, buy you have some fold equity if he missed the flop and you still have 6 outs for TPTK.

Villian must have around ~$12 left when the flop hits so putting villian AI seems like a no brainer. He may even fold to save his loot for the next hand.
