Default Bad satellite steal?

I was 16th of 19th for 9 seats in an FPP tournament. CO, button, and BB are all sitting out, so I only had to get through one big stack. With all the players sitting out to my left, maybe I don't need to risk this steal.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB (t19627)
UTG (t14180)
Hero (t7755)
CO (t29403)
Button (t19648)
SB (t28539)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t7705</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls t7305, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t15260) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t15260) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t15260) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t15260

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has 6c 9s (high card, ten).
SB has Ad As (one pair, aces).
Outcome: SB wins t15260. </font>

There was only one player to my left not sitting out and he had a big stack. I was wondering if I needed to risk steals at all with the two players to my left sitting out.

obviously, i'm illiterate...

i think yes, you have to steal... because even your legitimate raises aren't going to get paid off and you face an uphill fight to get to the FT...

Betgo,

This is an easy steal. The one guy in the pot has to wake up with a hand to call, and he may be folding a ton of non paired hands (AJ, AQ). If you were in the SB and it was folded to you, you would push this, right? I certainly would.
