Default Money bubble: $6.50, 18-man turbo

Blinds 200/400 + 25 ante

5 players left, 4 make the money.
Hero is short stack with ~1400, but there is one other player with ~1600.

Hero in SB with Q5o (~1200 after posting SB). All fold to Hero.
BB has ~3000 after posting BB. Hero?

Is this a super-easy push? With any two cards? What if the other short stack has ~400 chips left, should I wait until he busts? In this situation, my usual mindset is to shoot for 1st place, making a push automatic with all but the very worst hands.

If I push, BB will have ~2:1 odds and probably will call. If I fold, I will get 3 hands in which in which someone may bust or I may get an AX, a PP or paint.
