Default 60: WTF U STOLE MY CHIPLEAD GIVE IT BACK

UTG 1900
CO 1000
Hero 3750
SB 4250
BB 2600

First hand of level, blinds 250/500 no antes
SB elminated a player on previous hand calling a 1700 shove from the 400 big blind with AJ, ruining the perfect table setup of a bunch of even stacks with me with 2x pwning. Hero has been semi-active, but nothing over the top. BB has been very tight, folding away from a t4000 stack early.

UTG Folds
CO Folds
Hero is dealt 23o
Hero XXXXXXXX

Case for pushing: Winning the blinds makes us chipleader. With all stacks under 10bb, and 2nd to our direct left having to worry about shorties folding behind him on every hand this will be very advantageous. If we don't push and SB does and wins the pot, any subsequent shove from us will not give us the chiplead. This will keep us from stealing a lot of blinds, and let SB pretty much pwn the table while we dwindle away.

Case for folding: WTF you have nothing and you're pushing through the only guy who can bust you? If you let him dominate the bubble you are still probably going to finish ITM. Fold and get 3rd and hope for 2nd or to pick up a big hand.

Also, if you don't push here, what's your range for pushing?
