Is TJs kind of a waste against a short-stack?

How did hero cold call? He had position on both UTG and SB. When UTG raised, Hero smooth called. Then SB raised, hero called again, not cold, because he already put a bet in. Is it standard to fold getting 4-1 with position on both players (albeit SB is short).

I think the first call was meant, when hero was getting 1.4:1 with two players yet to act. I agree the second call is standard given the pot odds and position, but hero was only in that spot because of his earlier mistake. Classic pre-flop compounding error, where hero ended up paying $5 to see a 3-way flop with JTs
