Call,push, or..."MOVE bit$h, get out the way...get out the way.."

This comes up from time to time. Me and Button both have been taking our cracks at BB (Button just doubled up BB a couple hands previous).

Let's assume our stacks are both equal (5800ish), while shorty is at, say 1700ish . What kind of hand would you NOT get out of the way of Button's move on shorty? If and when you DID have a worthy hand, do you push back or go to the flop looking to avoid a disaster?

Push preflop. It's not close.
