Do you push it here, or try and take a flop with the big stack?

you don't need to go all in here at all, raise to 40ish and go from there

He hasn't shown any strength. Pushing gives him an easy way out of the hand with his small pair or what have you. Reraise to somewhere between 36-50 (probably better in the top end of that range).

A raise a bit more than Shortstacks stacks would be nice so that there is a sidepot worth playing for.
