Default $16 bubble, 1 shorty flopped pair+FD just fold?

So one plaer is VERY short, but i flopped a big draw. Should I just fold to get ITM?

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I just shove w/ huge FE and a nice draw. I can't see folding here as SB doesn't have to have a hand here to lead pot on flop.

Dude, I'm sure you're a good player and all, but sometimes I wonder whether we're living in different universes. In mine, we don't have much FE at all. The other guy has a much, much bigger stack than ours and he's going to call if he had anything to bet with.

We do have a good draw though. The only things I'd fear would be that he happens to hold JT/bigger diamond draw or that he has a set already.

This is an assumption that will on the whole lose you money. It's much closer to the truth to say that you shouldn't fold because you're a big favourite against his range.
