What's the best route? Shorty has 38 chips after posting the blind.. I should just flat-out call, right? Inviting others along to ensure shorty's demise..

Any sense in min-raising? Maybe this will make sure a big stack has a hand and won't push over the top...

I surely think pushing is retarded, as the big stacks might call with crap and shorty can still fold.
