Have the antes kicked in yet? They don't seem like much this early but they do help swing the math in your favor. If you do make the call pre-flop (which I think you should given your stack, you need to have a plan as to whether you will stack off if you flop top pair. If you plan to stack off here you need to just open shove the flop and give your opponent a chance to fold, which isn't that likely but definitely more likely if you open jam instead of checking and making him put even more of his stack in the pot at which time he has to call with any 2 overs.

Him calling us with two overs is good for us. Personally i think it should be a fold preflop since the minreraise usually equals big pair, and we're simply not going to flop good enough despite the good odds the miniraise gives us.

But if you decide to call pre and then decide that you're not folding once you flop top pair, checking is def better than pushing. A better hand never folds to a push. You only push out hands we want to get all in with. Checking at least allows us to get some chips from the unlikely overcards.
