Default Party 2k NL JJ dilema preflop

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $20 BB (8 handed) converter

Hero ($1529.92)
MP2 ($2102)
CO ($1553.58)
Button ($5774)
SB ($2470.25)
BB ($2015.5)
UTG ($326.5)
UTG+1 ($1809)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls $20, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $85</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls $85, SB calls $75, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $326.5 (All-In)</font>.

Short Stack is a bit of a donkey, Button is B_Buddy and SB is unknown. I'm perfectly willing to call the short stack here but I'm unsure whether moving in or flat calling is better here. Comments?

Unless you think it likely one of the other players smoothcalled with AA or KK, I would want to get headsup with the short stack. You don't necessarily have to push to do it though, as reraising to 600 will probably do the trick, and allow you to escape if one of the other players does move in having in fact AA/KK (of course they might do it with AKs as well but if you haven't played with them enough you can't assume they would).

Pretty sure B_Buddy or the SB would raise AA or KK(and probably fold QQ now if you move to isolate), so I like making it 800 straight. You can fold to a raise because they aren't going to smoothcall/movein with AK, so you're always crushed if they move in.

I like pushing solely because B Buddy is dumb enough to call with with TT

maybe its just me but wouldn't a smooth call of the short stack look more scary as it makes it seem like you want others to come along?

do you guys ever smoothcall a short stack push reraise with AA hoping for other guys to come along?
