What do you do against short stacks like this?
I only have 22 hands on him but he's still running VPIP @ 59, he's obviously active and he's also shoved from the BB when there was a couple of callers preflop.

Was the flop raise worth it or should I have just laid it down to the short stack? I seem to be faced with situations like this quite often but am never sure what the goal of the short stack people are - is it to bluff me off an sizable pot (in comparison to their stack) or is to wait for a chance where they probably have the best hand?
