Figured that he might fold a 9 and I didn't know what the heck I should do so I just pushed.

there are 2 types of shortstacks.
1.)The players who are just bad at poker and try to gamble for doubling their bankroll .
2.)The players who are bad at poker but use a special SSS. ( short stack strategy)
(SSS is playing 10-12 tables at the same time ultra nitty on flop with a short stack. On flop there are only 2 possibilites for those players.
they know they are likley to have the best hand till the river more than 80% of the time -> stay in the hand . Everything else is a fold .)
So if you bet the flop and an SSS player calls -> you can be sure that he has at least a made hand like top 2 pair, a set or a straight.
These players never play draws and they also wont stay in the hand after the flop with anything worse than 2 pair.
If they have Top pair + good Kicker on flop they will immediately go all in.
So if SSS Villian stays in the hand on a flop like 9 T T after you bet 2/3 Potsize you can be almost 95% sure he has either
fullHouse or a set of Tens . everything else he would fold for sure.
U see what i did there with A8 ? He 4 bets and there we go insta jam A8 : ---booooom -- . hahahaha ( Krantz)
