With such a low M, why not just open push? This is a pretty shallow table, so everyone's calling ranges should be much wider.

If you push, SB is getting over 2.5:1 to call. Of course, I you look at it as effectively calling his push, you're getting over 2.5:1. Unless SB has exactly AA, you'll be getting your odds here. Because SB only has an M of around 11, I'd say his range is likely 66+/AJ+ (maybe even worse).

As played, push and be prepared to get called.
