This is probably super standard but I'm just wanting to check. The idea of pushing with a draw is if you think you have any sort of fold equity, which here I just don't think I do against a short stack donk who leads into me for a pot size bet. However with his stack size and my hand I feel I'm obligated to do so. Is shoving here the correct play?

Full Tilt Poker $0.50/$1 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players

BTN: $85.05
SB: $33.50
BB: $105.80
UTG: $101.50
Hero (CO): $100.00

Pre Flop: Hero is CO with A

1 fold, Hero raises to $3.50, 1 fold, SB calls $3, 1 fold

Flop: ($8.00) 3

(2 players)
SB bets $8, Hero raises to $96.50 all in, SB calls $22 all in

BD FS, OESD and add the fact that Ace high might very well be good here makes this an easy shove.

I don't mind the shove here too much, mostly because his stack is so low. If he had maybe twice as large a stack here I'd play a little calmer and wait to hit my hand (while probably calling him down anyway). This is a bit more of a passive play than what might normally be suggested, though.

But, yes, to answer your question, I have no qualms with shoving this under these conditions.
