Default Push or Raise vs. small stack with big stack still to act?

$11 SNG. This situation arose more than once. Small stack sandwhiched between two larger, equal stacks. Do I just raise the small stack all-in and hope that the other big stack plays along, or do you push and hope he doesn't have a monster if the small stack folds?

Yeah, pushing is good. It's not like KQo is bad. It's not like you care too much whether or not small stack loses (this isn't the bubble) or you get called. Easy push.

Easy push? I'll take the not even 2% chance that the big stack has AA-QQ

You want the blinds, you have a good hand and cant fold on a reraise. Push this any day.
