villain is typical short stack donk, something like 50/5 over 50+ hands

easy fold, right? with the Ah, i probably just push him in

im just curious, who actually calls/puts him in here, and who folds ....

I push....Most short stacks do not play the type of drawing hands such as T9s, etc, that would have a flush here except AK or maybe AQ.

The only set he could have is JJJ, unless he is an idiot without regard for odds at all.

Him having a Jack or 2 "overcards" with a flush draw are most likely in my book.

If he is an idiot and would call your raise with 77 or 88 or a SC then he could easily be pulling this garbage with Top Pair and I still call.

Unless I read him as a nut peddler, I push. The donkey thing just makes it easier.

even worse is of course he gets up after this hand and leaves

this stuff makes me even more mad than the check-mini-raise

Re: short stacks can go to hell
 

min raises from shorty's always look suspicious. If you call the min raise bet you will almost always call follow-up all-in on turn. I normally fold here. Push with Ah.

Re: short stacks can go to hell
 

Whenever an unknown player joins the table short I put them on the following hand range: AA-TT AK-AJ KQs.
They don't have the odds to call raises with SC and small PP.
