Hero is CO with AA.

Relevant Stacks:

Button - 120
Hero - 120
BB - 20

Button is fairly aggro, around 30/28 after a couple hundred hands. BB is a total moron and keeps buying in for 20 and pushing with any ace, or any 2 broadways.

Preflop: Party NL 100
Hero calls, Button raises to 5, BB pushes for 19.
Back to hero, pot stands at around $26. Should Hero flat call the push and pray button overcalls, or should I push and hope he thinks i'm trying to isolate against the BB with a marginal hand?

I flat call, if either of them have a low PP they have horrible odds and no implied odds

Most of the time in a situation like this, If the other guy has any type of hand after the flop He usually makes eithor a HUGE bet or pushes himself instead of trying to actually get any value out of his hand in the side pot.
So, I am all for the checkraise/check call the push route.
