Raise to t1200, fold to a reraise.

Raising to 800 is sufficient. You are going to raise with A/T on the button if its open folded to you anyway, so what's complicated about this hand?

It is a different situation, as I have a smaller equity, since I cannot steal the blinds. Also, if I flat call, the blinds may fold or flat call. It seems like folding is worth considering here, as well as flat calling.

I make it 600 here with like any 2

Huh? The short stack made it 2xBB and you raise to 3xBB to isolate with any 2? Some hands are not ahead out pot odds versus short stack's range. Plus if you reraise you can be pushed off it by another raise or flat called by a better hand.

Because picking up the blinds is worth about 400 chips, but isolating is worth about an expectation of a 200 chip gain. I don't understand my you don't see the difference.

someones math is screwy here

Re: short stack push for 2xBB, ATo on button
 

raise to isolate. but not to much if the bb or the sb wake up with a monster.
I'd say 1200 is enough
