1st, I almost never worry about an overset cause the odds of that happening are pretty damn slim. 2nd if he is such a short stack, he is even more likely to fish away all his cash cause if he c-bets he already has almost 40% of his stack in. just calling these guys and letting them catch a turn gives u a better chance, to stack em(BTW, I only do this vs short stacks, deep stacks are a different story) Plus good post flop play can tell you if they did not hit the flop, giving u a chance to steal the pot.

My play after the bet he should have another 10x the call I need to make. IE: if I am big blind and villian raises 4xBB I call my 3BB if he has 30 more BB to go in his stack. And I am never short stacked so I am never in question.
