You act first after the flop so it's often better with a shortie to just put him in for 1/2 his stack and then push no matter what on flop.

When playing shorties traditional positional advantage is reversed - as first to act after the flop usually gets the money in and pressures the second player if the second player missed.

For the same reason if you were to act last then it's better to put him all in pre-flop ( he may fold of course which is fine too).

I'm assuming you think he is going to go all the way with any decent Ax or any pair?
