If anything, I think a short stack is more likely to just fold if he has nothing and not even think about whether he’s supposed to call with K-high. I’m not trying to get him to make some monster laydown, I think I am plenty profitable if he just folds all of his unpaired hands.

There’s a big difference between Q-high and K-high here. I’d definitely shove Q-high. I guess I can see a case for check-calling K-high, but it probably wouldn’t even occur to me in the heat of the moment.

I’ve been trying those small bets recently and I like them a lot. If your bet is like 90 into 520 it has to work less than 1/6 times to break even. 76/JT/non Ahigh diamonds are a decent part of his range and your hand has 0 SD value. What would you do with Jhigh or Qhigh in this spot?

I agree that against a full stack this is a profitable shove. Do you think that someone 1/3 stacking is generally going to fold after getting 2/3rds in (tournament logic, I know)? I agree it looked like they were drawing as well and as played you represented strong holdings. I just see these fish steam off the last of their shortings a fair amount (granted, I really do not play cash much anymore).
