No read on short stack, the other two clowns are LP.
My main question is preflop, do you reraise here?
Also how would you play the flop?

Push or fold pre-flop.

preflop odds of 1:4, and its taking 1/5 of your stack. these are incorrect odds for a set draw.

either assume one of the callers is trapping with KK/AA and fold, or push

I thought if I pushed I wold only be called by better hands. I do think I should've reraised some amount preflop, but I guess any raise pot commits me so may as well be a push. Is that the logic behind this line?

Any reraise preflop commits you, so you have to push. You're getting called by lots more hands than AA/KK. Good chance with AA or KK one of those guys raises anyway, especially the BB. You also gain some folds as opposed to basically giving them 3 free cards to see if they have a hand or not before you probably get all-in postflop anyway.
