Default do you think it\'s EV+ to push small pairs out of the big blind?

blinds are 100/200 - $50+5, rebuy period is over
UTG+1 (3000) - limps
LP1 (2500) - limps
LP2 (1000) - limps
SB folds

I have (2300) w/ 66 in the BB, and

A. check to see a flop

B. push

discuss reasons for both.....Also if you push w/ that stack, how big a stack would you not push with?

Check.

I'm not short enough to be making risky moves with less than stellar hands, and I stand a good chance of taking down a big pot with little risk if a 6 flops.

I push with a shorter stack though.

With 900 in the pot and 2300 behind, I'm considering a push for sure. I probably end up pushing ~20%-30% of the time in spots like this. I would need reads on UTG+1 and LP2 to pull the trigger here, though. I would default to a check if I had just been moved to the table.

I push this often, but it depends on what I think of UTG+1. If I've seen him limp a lot, and I haven't been caught pushing with 89s, I push here.
