Default $109 short handed - HU play - how weak am I?

Its just gone to HU play after I have been bullying them on the bubble (they both had similar stacks and neither wanted to go out first)

Am I weak here?

Hand 1 I probably push ... Hand 2 I instacall. Assuming he's a thinking player you're ahead of quite a bit, but probably racing.

easy - get your $ in bothhands

first hand - he's so short there are few, if any, hands I'd fold

2nd hand - if he had more you can fold 22, but for that much (and only 3.5 BBs!) take the flip.

thanks for all the answers - they were as I expected

Just wondering if anyone thinks that playing any two against the short stack is a bad play - why would I want to double him up in either of the 2 races? why not wait and pick my hand and choose when to be all in rather than the other way around?

If I coin flip and lose he has chips to play with, if I fold, he gets a free blind

Just a thought

any two is a bad play, but Q high is decent.
Push/Call

yeah - and "short stack" and "micro stack" are two different things, esp when HU at the end.
