NO INFORMATION ON OPPONENTS (IGNITION/BOVADA)
  • Is the hero's 4-bet shove with short stack acceptable? Why or why not?

Its always nice to have some info on the table to make these plays, but I think 4-bet shove is appropriate here with a short stack. Hard to know what open limp/rr at the CO means, but it would be strange to find AK,AA,KK,QQ here. So at worse, you should be flipping if called. Villain should lay down small pocket pairs to 4-bet all in, so I like the play.

Limp/3-bet is indeed strange betting behaviour.

My suggestions: always play with a full stack to begin with. It changes your pot/stack ratio and means you have to shove less often.

Considering you're OOP the shove is justified as villain will rarely hold QQ+ after limping which means you're a favourite pre-flop.

If you had a read on villain it would make things easier and you could maybe call his 3-bet, evaluate the flop and check-raise all-in if favourable. All depends on villains likely range, but playing like this V could hold anything from 88 to ATo or so.

This is usually something like 55 that wants to flip now that he can't set-mine. If his limp was from earlier position, maybe we could include some monsters in his range. But from the cutoff, it's likely junk.
