I figured I'd get replies along these lines... as in, just raise to 1500 or something. This is my full reasoning as to why pushing is the best play, but to be fair, some of this information wasn't in my OP:

Possible decisions:

Fold - Folding seems like it would be the default play but notice the stack sizes. Folding here gives him the chip lead, and due to villain's tendencies, I am getting raised on the next hand in the BB. Provided I don't get a hand that falls into my 20% reraise range against him, I'll fold there as well. This will put me pretty far behind in blind stealing.

Raise to 1200-2000 - This seems to be the popular choice so far, but there's a key problem with this move: suited connectors. Villain is very aggressive, so there is a good chance I'll get repopped with 56s, 79s, 68s, whatever. Also, if he thinks he has a decent amount of fold equity, he could shove K6 or Q9 or something like that right back in my face.

Shoving is the only play that takes his option of raising away, and since he can't raise, the range of hands he'll be willing to go with here shrinks dramatically.

taipan, run it in SNGPT... I don't have that fine piece of software yet. I think it could very well be -EV in chip terms, but holding a moderate chiplead heads-up in SNGs is so crucial.

One more thing, if he calls and I suck out, I win!
