Speed BH play

Never know what to do in this situation.  Its the speed BH at 10pm (5 min blinds).  Shoving pre is kinda suicidal i think considering my stack is decent about average stack.  I think min raise is fine looking to fold to a Frankie shove and calling off short stack.

Shorty ends up flat calling and sticking the rest in on the flop.  Do we call off on one of the worst flops for us considering its just 2bb or just fold and save it considering 2bb is quite valuable at this stage.

    Personally I would be tempted to raise bigger to keep SB out of the pot and try and isolate the BB all-in. However there is a risk of the SB seeing through that and jamming wide to get rid of us.

    The 2x has worked in this case, I think we have the odds to call especially with the chance of the bounty. Opponent doesnt have to have hit the flop or have an overpair. Could also have a 5 or a 9 or 2 overcards and with Ax we have split opportunities.
