I'm thinking it is better to push here. Agree or not?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t3585)
MP (t200)
Hero (t1420)
SB (t1930)
BB (t865)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, <font color="CC3333">MP raises to t200 (All-In)</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t425</font>, SB calls t375, BB folds.

I agree. Don't want to let that weak ace call and catch, etc. Isolate the guy that went all in. With AA, I may just call and let the SB in too.

Look at the stack sizes of those to come after you: SB is 1930. 425 to get in. You know what, if I had 88-QQ or AKos in his position I would just push there which is what you want. Maybe even AQos. OTOH if he just calls and an ace flops I think you need to check and fold.

Wanted to bump this for more opinions.

I think it's a fairly interesting hand. Is the SB thinking I'm calling with a medium ace to take out possibly a small ace of the short stack? But the basic question: do I "take" the 200 chips and push, and go for more with a raise as played?
