Default $75 Multi on Full Tilt; Standard Raise or Shove on bubble?

$18,000 Guaranteed Tourny on Full Tilt. Blinds are 600/1200 with antes at t150. We're hand for hand with 46 people left and my table is 8 handed. I'm fairly new to this table, but I haven't seen anything crazy since I've sat down. Hero is in MP1 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Stacks are as follows:

UTG (5810)
UTG+1 (69,956)
Hero (14,174)
MP2 (39,930)
CO (16,608)
Button (44,941)
SB (22,573)
BB (14,045)

Starting Pot Size is t3000.

Preflop: UTG folds,UTG+1 folds, Hero...?

Questions: Should I make a standard sized raise here or just push? If I should make a standard raise, am I folding to a reshove behind me if the person has me covered?

When I am in a spot like this I almost always move all-in. I don't feel like raising 1/4 (3xbb) of my stack gives me much folding equity. With only 11 big blinds its definetly time to start shoving hands like this.

push or fold. standard raise is terrible with your stack size.

I'd go a little unconventional on this one. I'd raise it 5x BB to 6000 to go, which tells the other players you are ready to commit your stack on the hand. Your fold equity goes down, but the other players should recognize that unless they have the goods, you are taking this pot down...

this makes no sense so if ur FE goes down (which i dont think it does) why whould you do this??? so you can get away from it after putting in half your stack when if you are reraised all in u are quite possibly ahead...? just shove it in there and no folding is not an option
