I dont know why, but I just shoved. There is no real explanation for it.

It sounds like you intuitively planted him on complete garbage a high enough percentage of the time to make a call here automatic in a range-of-hands sense. That's exactly the way things go shorthanded, where you have to play more by feel than by rote math. For example, when playing you probably gain a sense for the importance of how long the guy takes to fire out a bet/raise. Maybe when they come "too fast" you know he's got junk a great % of the time. The important thing is to not get down on yourself those times when a guy like this flips up top set, or your timing-based read was just an unlucky disconnect at the wrong time or whatever; and also to keep plays like this separate from hopeless calls that one occasionally makes out of stupid desperation when on tilt.

Good read and NH.
