I would also call a BB push.

If that is indeed the plan, then hero needs to push.

No he doesn't. Pushing 655 chips into a 150 pot narrows the range of hands that will call. Yes, they'd reraise your 150 anyway. However, you'll get pushed back at by lessor hands and called by lessor hands just raising to 150.

Who's afraid of postflop? I welcome it. I'll outplay 90% of them every day of the week.

You won't be playing postflop against the button or SB. They don't have enough chips to just call here.

The BB could call. If by "outplay", you mean "push on any flop", then I guess that counts.

Either way, there's not going to be a lot of play after this flop.

I'd probably raise to 150 and push on almost any flop.

However, I don't really don't think straight pushing is that bad. If either short stack has a hand, we'll be allin either way.
