Not sure about whether this is the spot or not.

Villain pushed in a couple of hands ago with a short stack. That's all I really know about him. He doesn't seem to be insanely loose or tight.

I'm guessing he's playing 55+, AT+, KQ or so. Is this range reasonable?

Yeah, I'd say this is the spot. You're under 10xBB, you're holding one of the best hands in hold'em against an opponent who is even shorter stacked and is quite possibly pushing with a wide range of hands you're better than (AJ, AT, A9s, KQ, KJ, KTs) and a bunch of hands where you're flipping a coin. Haven't run it through SNGPT's but I think it's a call.

Yeah...ran it -- actually, even if his push range is a bit tighter than your guess, it's a call. Time to take your shot.
