About LinkBacksA general question about short stacks and if you have them covered and stand to lose 15% of your stack.
I'm in chip lead positioned in SB with 9s 10d with the short stack who is the BB and all have folded to me.
Do you shove, raise or do you fold?

Poker is about pressure and how much you can put on your opponent
A. Limping isnt an option, you are leaving your chips in limbo.
B. Minimum raising would only make the BB think your stealing.
C. Pushing all in would make the BB decide his future on the the only 2 cards he has and my choice for this scenario

Agree that limping is a weak play leaving you out of position and completely in the dark if the BB checks.
Agree that min-raising will only get the BB to fold the absolute worst of his hands, otherwise will either come along to the flop with position or play back at you pre-flop to get a fold.
I don't see any terribly good reason that calls for putting the BB all-in if there is a raise amount that can get the same fold from the BB on a large portion of his holdings and call only when you're likely behind making the post-flop play easier. And leaves calling the BB shove pre-flop is still an option.
would be much easier to give advice if we knew what are you playing, the level, chip size stack.
my advice is.y
open raise is a much better approach if its folded to you. when you raise, hes either going to shove, call or fold. usually short stack will shove and if he does win, hes going to go back to playing tight and folding. tho others might see your hand, you can save face and use it to your advantage by mixing it up next time around. but be warned, playing against short stack allows everyone to see your preflop range to pushing your opponents all in when you got chips to play with, so they will re raise back if they know your going to raise hands like 10,9.
Depends on your stack size relative to the blinds (not enough information is given to answer the question
There are some situations where t9 off can be shoved in scenarios like you mention, generally though I play tighter, since t9off is only a 50% hand (shoving with t9off is like, you are shoving with 50% of your hands. Some books recommend that though
