...waits for a premium hand to play against the big stack. You are playing for second place before you play for first, in this lopsided chip stack situation.

You need to just check here. Btw if anyone ever bet like 200 into this pot, Id move allin with any 2 as the button.
The button SHOULD have moved raised preflop, because the SB will fold and the BB will fold to try to get 2nd place. The blinds are so low that allin may not be necessary, but this is really a spot to steal with any 2.
