Default In a HU match when is it acceptable to request a reload?

Lets assume its a nice guy and your playing 50/100 for a couple hours and you have him down to below 600... is it impolite to ask him to reload at this point?

whenever you think their small stack reduces your edge too much.

i don't like getting in dumb coinflips or 60/40 situations where ppl push preflop for like 100 bucks. when they double up it completely changes the match b/c i get really angry and they get more confident.

i always request a reload around 20bb...it may be douchey but there's no way i'm giving some fish a shot at 200 of my big blinds for 20 of his. i've lost 5-6 buyins to fish before who originally buy in for the minimum
