Default 22s: What is the preferred line here?

MP1 had been pretty tight. Button is a maniac. Awkward stack size to raise with. I can see and arguement for push, call or fold.

PartyPoker Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t 100 (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1800)
UTG+1 (t2270)
MP1 (t2070)
CO (t5650)
Button (t4445)
SB (t1840)
Hero (t1925)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="red">MP1 raises to t200</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Button calls t200, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">Hero ??

For only 100 more you are definitely deep enough to call for set value. Also, with MP1 being tight, like you say, a min. raise has a good possibility of being an over pair. That way you have a better chance of stacking him if you hit your set.
Button is basically irrelevant, and is only important in that he made the pot even sweeter for you to draw.

I wouldn't raise or push, since the pot is only ~1/4 of your stack, and a minraise from a tight player seems to be hoping for a reraise.

Call, flop your set and stack MP1 after he can't fold his AA.

Wouldn't we not be able to fold our AA either?

I guess not, but that's why the min raise is stupid. He should have raised more so that the mental pot commitment that he (or anyone) is going to feel is at least based somewhat on the potsize. If he made it 300 there would be a ~1/2 of his stack as opposed to the ~1/4 that's in there now.
That also gives hero bad enough odds that a call may not necessarily be the obvious move.

We wouldn't have minraised with our AA to begin with to give 66 the odds to call.
