fold or push? late in 16$
 

My first post on 2+2... be nice if this is a bad fold. BB is mediocre player. I have been pretty active, shoving when necessary. However, the shortstack(button) is a madman, hes been min raising half his stack, and folding to shoves just spewing chips. My reason for folding, was that I figured he would bust doing something donkish.. and the big blind was hitting him next hand, and he was very likely to be all in again. However I would like some other opinions of this hand. Push or fold?

BB has to be calling wider than 43.5% for this to be a fold.. no one is calling that wide.

Unless BB is calling stupid wide, this has to be a wildly +EV push.

BB will tighten up knowing that if he loses he will probably be AI the next hand with ATC against the short maniac.
