Could you explain a bit your thought process if you were to raise this?

With the caveat that I'm not anywhere near certain that I'm correct, this was my thought process:

1) If I do anything other than push, it is only because the bigstack SB was uber loose. Otherwise, it is an insta-push.

2) Under no circumstances is BB getting a walk. So folding is OUT.

3) If I mini-raise to 550 (as I did), SB pushes, and BB folds, I can fold and still have a chip advantage of 1305-550 over shorty. (1105-450 after posting the next hand).

4) I try to take into account the type of opponents that I'm up against. At a 22 in general and against this bigstack in particular, my fear is not that he will push with air to my less than AI raise. My fear is that he will make some loose a$$ call with a couple broadways if I push. Dream scenario for BB, who can fold ITM.

5) Hence, the raise to 550, call the SB's push.
