Default Correct call? (and a question about UB SnGs)

xxxx is at seat 3 with 6975.
yyyy is at seat 4 with 320.
IT is at seat 5 with 850.
zzzz is at seat 6 with 6855.
The button is at seat 3.

yyyy posts the small blind of 150.
IT posts the big blind of 300.

IT: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Pre-flop: zzzz folds. xxxx raises to 1050. yyyy goes all-in for 320. IT goes all-in for 850. xxxx is returned 200 (uncalled).

Reasoning: By calling the short-stack's all-in, I am increasing the chances that he will be busted. If we both get busted, I take 3rd. If he triples up, obviously I am in big trouble, but with the blinds where they are, I am already in dire straits...

Also, it seems most posts on this forum are on Party SnGs. Currently I have a tiny BR, and it is all on UB, so I am playing their $5.50 SnGs exclusively, trying to build back up. Are UB's SnGs regarded as similar/easier/harder than Party SnGs?
