#1) yes, horrible fold. The shortstack still has 4BB so it's not like he will be blinded out yet. Not a time to throw away solid hands, IMO.

#2) then just go all-in to begin with. What happens if the SB calls here for cheap and bets out on the flop with 2 overcards showing? It'll be a bummer, which is why pushing PF becomes mandatory when you are this low on chips.

I think both of these are very clear pushes. The shortstack has two full passes through the blinds and a very real chance of doubling up. You want to be conservative here but passing on a top 5% and a top 10% hand is horrible, IMAO.

Stop chickening out. It's costing you EV. Push both.
