This a very unique situation, the SB is pretty much saying call here and lets knock him out so we move up in pay. If you are content with 2nd then I would just call.

This spot I like to push a good amoount, it will be another 2700 to the SB and I dont think he is likely to call or he would have pushed over the top to isolate. I really like the push because it gets some extra dead money in the pot and if u win the hand your close in chips. if you lose however you drop to 3rd in a bad spot. i still think the push is the most +EV play.
