Default pf spot vs a small stack but not last to act

obv i want it all in there vs the small stack. I still get lost when not last to act in isolation positions though.

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $22.45
UTG+1: $32
CO: $40.55
Guruman: $28.60
SB: $25
BB: $8.65

Pre-flop: (6 players) Guruman is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Guruman raises to $0.75</font>, SB calls, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Guruman... </font>,

so my options are
A)push and hope sb doesnt wake up with a hand
B)flat call, and hope sb comes along with a weaker hand, then donk lots of flops for the size of the pot.

thoughts?

What about C) Reraise to a normal amount? If you push it seems SB won't call unless he was sandbagging a big hand. I don't think it's vital we push him out and get heads up with BB, although a normal 3 bet will often accomplish that anyway.

If you don't push, at least raise enough to put the short stack all in. SB rarely has a big hand here after flatcalling a button raise.

just push, JJ has SB's range crushed and he almost never calls.

I'd reraise to about 6 there as default. Pushing just invites SB to call KK/AA. Flat calling is less +EV than reraising, i think.
