    I think you should fold this and take him out later. When shorties miniraise it`s often a warning. He can not fold when you raise it. And even if he just had Ax he`s favorite against you. I rather do this play against a shortie with hands like 78s. When you do it with a problem hand like K8o you often has your king blocked when he turn over AK, KK, KQ.

    And by the way. Do you meen the last call for 185? In that case you have to call. The thing I don`t like is the reraise before that.

    Yep, I meant the initial re-raise, I always forget minraise from a shortstack means lots of strength usually :p
