Villain stats = 17/17 over only 25 hands and villain has never shoved so far or even 4bet.
From MP I flat call an EP standard raise by a 16/12 (over 25 hands). Other players at the table show reg types of stats and I want to set mine with my 55.
BB decides to shove with a very short-stack.
My decision for calling the shove was that it wasn't that much more money to put in.
My question is: should that ever be the way to consider calling a shove? If we assume he'll only shove with top of his range (and can we assume anything else with a player that we don't have many hands on and we know isn't a maniac?) then I'll be pretty much behind every time.
