This is a 15+1 Turbo on Stars

Considering the short stacks range of pushing hands, is this a call/push?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t2665)
MP (t415)
Button (t4750)
Hero (t1160)
BB (t4510)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.

You are a short stack to ya know...you have to make some moves with 5.5BB left.

Its 1/4 your stack to call. I probably call and push if the BB called as well if I pair anything.

I would prefer pushing instead of calling since I'm forced to fold if the BB pushes OTP.
