It should be easy to stack.
Ex 1 (cooler situation where villain flops two pair / set and we flop better):
Pot is $10 and we both have $200 behind. Villain bets $10 and we raise to $30. Worse case scenario is villain just calls and checks the turn; pot is now $70 and we have $170 left behind. We bet a minimum bet of $35, villain calls. Pot is now $140 leaving us with less than a PSB of $135 behind. EZ shove, as no villain is folding two pair / set here. This pot commitment becomes even easier if villain 3bets the flop, or if another caller or two comes along on the flop or if we bet slightly more on the turn.
Ex 2 (villain flops two pair / set and we flop a draw which comes in on turn):
After calling the flop bet, the pot is at least $30 (worst case scenario HU). We raise the $20 turn bet to $60 when our draw hits. Worse case scenario (other than villain somehow managing to fold his two pair / set) is villain just calls, so pot on the river is now $150 and we've got $130 left. Again, EZ shove.
Methinks it's pretty easy to get 100 BB stacks in over 3 streets, especially when villain can't fold very good hands. Villains who can't fold very good hands will even pay off large river over bets (2x pot bets, etc.) so I don't think this is going to be an issue.
