Should I just wait lowstack out and (hopefully) slip into 3rd, or do I gain enough from this push to make it worthwile?

Might be a clear-cut answer but I was doing quite a bit of doubting before making the push.

This is a kinds marginal ALL-IN. You want to avoid those with the shortstack around. I fold here.

If there isn't a very short stack and I'm dealt this on the button I'm pushing every time. In this situation I fold though. The short stack is just too short with barely 2 BB.

I like the push AJ+ 99+ line.

Well, I saw a couple big cards and though "eh...can't be THAT bad". It's actually not too far off.

I gave BB - 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+. Pretty generous, as you still have ample FE over him
I gave SB - 22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs. Generous again. He has the chips to slap you down, but would recognize you are perhaps pushing something better than "any two"
I gave Button - 44+,A7s+,A9o+,KJs+ as well. Hard telling. He might be REALLY tight here hoping you get called in the blinds...or could call with less knowing he's eating the blinds soon.

With those ranges, your hand is only -.1ev. Fold worthy, but not a terminating offense.

These you get to push: 55+,A9o+,A7s+,KQs

What about the fact that he's UTG and therefore BB next hand.

If he sees any action when on the BB he could very well end up being on the small blind with 755 in chips and up against the short stack in the BB with 439. There's a good chance he would be all-in heads-up against the short stack here with any two, if the bigger stacks are being overly aggressive.

So, shouldn't he want to be distancing himself from the short stack with a pretty decent hand four-handed here?
