I think it's okay here against the short stack, because I seriously doubt that he's folding if you go all-in pre-flop. As long you as plan to push any three cards and deal with the consequences, you might as well give him a chance to bail early.

Nh. Just about a perfect spot, IMHO, although I'm not an authority on the issue.


Nice balls to do it when the A fell (you may very well have folded a larger PP there), just remember to check when your 8 falls on a non-scary board and you're fine.
