If you make that choice, then you shouldn't be getting scared on the river when the small stack pushes an uncoordinated board. You made a choice earlier to stand on this hand against the low stack as long as the board doesn't coordinate. So make your stand. You bypassed fold equity on the turn. It was a choice you made because you felt protection wasn't necessary.

As for the river push by your opponent, you have to think about his psychology. You have to know that the small amount of negotiation a shortstack is capable of shouldn't be respected in most cases. You confused yourself with your own river check. When you check a river weak like that, sometimes you have to expect an equal and opposite reaction from a deperate opponent. If you ask me, this is what you want to happen in this situation. You want to bait him into liquidating his stack, because your ahead most of the time here. Cry when your not, but calling is profitable.

Think long term, and take all factors into account. An opponent with a shortstack is a MAJOR factor. They tilt easily.
