Default Shortstack push from BB with TT

I haven't really been paying much attention really. MP2 is shortstack but is playing loose and raising preflop OOP (too?) often for his stack size. I think my push puts the initial raiser in a tough spot, and the cold-callers probably have weak hands. So, look good?

Pokerroom $1 NL

Seat 1: Hero ($20.90 in chips)
Seat 2: UTG ($135 in chips)
Seat 3: UTG+1 ($136 in chips)
Seat 5: MP1 ($92.40 in chips)
Seat 6: MP2 ($36.10 in chips)
Seat 7: Hijack ($40.50 in chips)
Seat 8: CO ($77.10 in chips)
Seat 9: Button ($34.10 in chips)
Seat 10: SB ($96.45 in chips)

Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img],T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

PRE-FLOP
1 fold, <font color="red">UTG+1 bets $3</font>, MP1 calls $3, MP2 calls $3, 1 fold, CO calls $3, 2 folds,

Hero bets $20.90 and is all-in...

Why are you playing short-stack?

If you're playing short-stack this is as good a time as any to push.

I like the push. You'd be amazed how many crap hands will call you just because you are the short stack. I hate it when a short stack pushes. It either means he's got a huge hand, or he wants to lose the rest of his money and leave, or get lucky and double up. You have a very good chance of being called with a lot of worse hands in this situation.

You can remedy your situation by playing NL25 and moving on up.

I'm very confident in my limit game and money has priority over learning a new game.

RESULTS:
Everyone folded except the last guy who called with pocket sixes and I win UI.

I'm not sure what to take from this. You need to play smaller if its a concern of losing money. Playing NL w/ 25bb is just push/fold and you should be willing to do so when you hit a pair.
