Default 6.5 - K9s UTG on bubble, should I be raising here?

Should I raise to 500 planning to call the shortstack but fold to a push from the other two? The remaining players are all consistent winners so I'm not worried about a call and then having to play a flop. Would this be trying to do too much or is it a reasonable play here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t2470)
Button (t2785)
SB (t6765)
BB (t1480)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero ???

i might raise i might not i depends on how the table is playing.

but if i did raise to 500, i would fold to an all-in from any of the players.

This is what I ended up doing.

I just felt that the other players probably had push/fold down better than I did in the closer situations so I thought picking up chips in spots like this would make decisions a little easier later on when the SB pushes into me

Being the 6.50's is all the more reason to wait for a better spot IMO. They'll come. SNGPT gives it a fold unless you set everyone to the tightest calling ranges...TT+ AQs + or AK, then its a push, but it's a toss up if you loosen up the BB, which is pretty likely.
