Villain is a presumed fish, how do you play this hand pre and post? In hindsight it feels probably too nitty when its 1.32 pot and .30 to call. we need like 18% equity here? we have BDFD, BDSD and an Ace-overcard.

I give his pre-flop actions a range of something like this:

when he jams on the flop I think because he is playing a broken stack he would probably go with most of his pre-flop
range besides maybe his missed KJ,AJ,AT without club draws. Here is a another picture below of what he may jam with

against that range we have about the required equity, if we can widen his range just a bit to include some worse hands and/or discount some of his AA,KK,QQ,AK because he should jam those pre then we have a call I think. Thoughts?

Against a short stack and the big stack in the SB I would just call in the BB. I would expect villain would open with a tight range and AJs played well post-flop. If you 3bet like now you need to play for stacks against the short stack pre-flop if villain shoves.

This flop isn't to good for you, but after your Cbet you can't really fold for 38c more with 1 over card and backdoor flush draw.
