Should i make a smaller raise? What if he pushes?

be shocked if this isnt standard according to SNGPT.

Effective stack is only 7x. Instapush.

In the future, try to include reads and your table image.

We don't really need them here to answer your question, because doing anything other than pushing in almost every case is just plain wrong.

absolutely, but this one you can figure out without it - you know you want to raise here intuitively, and rule of thumb is if either stack is less than 10x BB, you want to push. viola.

[alvaroaze]
