    As played, I put the shortstack all-in on the flop.

    Regarding PF, I'd fold, seeking a hand with higher showdown value.

    I'm not sure I would try a steal with 86o against a short stack BB. His check tells me that he probably doesn't have a club (unless he is trapping you ) so you may as well push him in here.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.
