Default 22 Bubble with QQ and a shortie around

At the time it felt like there was only one thing to do here, but after thinking it through a bit I got a bit unsure (only a little). Villain has minraised like this earlier at least once before when I came over the top. Shortie has been too tight but will most likely defend his blind with what little he has left. I was pretty sure villain would lay down most hands but he might be tired of my reraises and call with a decent ace here. Pushing should still be a pretty clear choice though I think?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) converter

SB (t2485)
Hero (t2140)
UTG (t877)
Villain (t2498)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

1326 two-card combinations. You're only 'dead' to 12 of them. You 'only' have 5BB's yourself after posting - and villian has an EXTREMELY difficult call to make, short of the aforementioned 12 holdings.

Push!!

Yup, this is an easy push despite the short stack. At this blind level, the stacks are very shallow so everyone is pretty short. QQ is going to be a big favourite here, and you have lots of FE. PUSH.

The same as Blufeet.
But what is the other line you thought about ?
I am wondering how it could be interesting to call, then check then raise all-in the flop.
