How to attack a short stack OOP
Short-stack is a bit of a maniac, had played previous and tagged that they would run with any pair, big suited cards or suited Ace, especially as they always buy in short stacked.
If it was heads-up, easy jam and happy with my play. If he has big cards, meh, good luck to him.
But what do when there is an unknown in between? They'd been seeing lots of flops and seemed quite passive so don't expect their range to only be super strong.
I don't feel I can call as I'd be a bit lost then later in the hand. Do I just 4b shove? Raise to £2.84 (short stack)? Other?

His flat makes it unlikely he has AA/KK. Some will flat QQ/AA there but either way you should be ahead of his range easily.
Wouldn't be worried about the unknown at all.
