Default KK - Push or Raise situation?

Stars $4/180 - 50 left

I just pushed all in preflop 2 hands in a row on the last orbit after a few limpers...blinds just reached 100/200 and I was short stacked. I showed the second steal from the button to the table (4 limpers, yes - maybe a bad idea) - Q7os. Avg stack is 5500, I am back up to about 3800.

UTG+1 is 55%/15%/2AF after 40 hands
SB is 60%/9%/1AF after 30 hands
CO is very tight/passive after over 300 hands

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Hero (t3815)
UTG (t8075)
UTG+1 (t5355)
MP1 (t3200)
MP2 (t11375)
CO (t4840)
Button (t5375)
SB (t14740)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t200, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t200, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???

I'd raise to like 1000-1200.

Raise. 1800 or so should do it.

This would be bad. Did you see my stack?

I know it's an overbet, but I just wonder if shoving is a better idea than a raise.

Don't push. These guys aren't good enough to make pushing the best play, raise to 1000-1200 sounds right and get it in on the flop/slowplay it some.

If the buy-in were higher, I'd consider pushing instead.
