Default (22) Defend BB here?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Hero (t1435)
UTG (t1435)
MP (t2060)
Button (t1735)
SB (t1335)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
3 folds, SB raise t400

Hero?

SB had been somewhat tight with the blinds high (was not paying really good attention to this table though). Even though SB was playing tight a default raise all most always means a steal in my experience at the 22's.

Do you push or fold here?

I like pushing here. You've got a reasonable hand and there's 600 in the pot as is, and he looks weak as heck. Plus you're tied with three other stacks out of five so if he folds it you've pulled away from the other two nicely.

I think a push is best. It's probably just better than neutral EV or something to do this for this particular hand, but if you can play having a slightly bigger than average stack well, the future EV possibilities from it make it worthwhile.
