$55 Should I bully shorty?

[lastas]

How about it? I am of cource in front of his range (random hand), and he will fold way more often than not. But when I'm called I'll be behind every time.

IE: not very much to win, but I will get crippled when losing.

Standard. Unexploitable. Yada yada. Yes this is obvious and I'd do the same.

It's an easy push IMO, but not because of short/big stack dynamics. 9-handed, we are still basically playing for cEV.

yes easy push. folding is out of the question and if you raise to ~300 then it will be uncomfortable calling if he pushes preflop or if you play post flop OOP with a short stack that will call a cbet if he has improved at all.
