Loose blinds, push to isolate?

Party 22
Blinds at 25/50, I have T1600. Six handed.

Shortstack pushes UTG for T575. Folded to me on the button. I have JJ. SB and BB both have ~T2000 after posting their blinds and are a bit loose. Push or call?

Loose or not, the blinds are going to have to have a big hand when you push... and, you push.

Let's assume we don't plan to call >1/3 our stack, only to fold to a blind push.

Push first...greatly reduce the chance of this becoming 3-way.

over the top for all ur chips. Best play by far. He's not going to call 2 allins, without a big hand at least. If you call and he calls, and he hits his hand could be trouble, or worse, the short stack hits his hand and triples up. That wouldn't be good. Otherwise, if he spikes u, u've still got roughly 1400 chips, with plenty of time.
