Default Stars $10 MTT hand from last night

Everyone;

There are between 27 and 35 left in the $10 mtt on stars last night and this one comes up. First villain in hand is fairly tight and decent. Second villain (big stack) is new to the table, no reads yet. I can't wrap myself around the right answer for this hand.

There are 1050 dead chips from antes in the pot, and the rest of the chips are from my remaining $28,865 * 2. I am getting 2.27:1 vs. 2 opponents.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t3000 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP1 (t23558)
MP2 (t32270)
CO (t22363)
Button (t33166)
SB (t138548)
Hero (t29015)
UTG (t76623)
UTG+1 (t41401)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t33016</font>, SB calls t31516, Hero starts cursing a lot while his wife (possibly a better NL player than he is, tells him to call, but his instincts are to FOLD FOLD FOLD...........)

For those not familiar, here are the rest of the payouts in this thing.....


1st $2,941
2nd $1,726
3rd $1,125
4th $831
5th $677
6th $550
7th $422
8th $294
9th $192
10th - 18th $102.33
19th - 27th $57.56
$27 - 35th $44.76

All comments welcome.

I wouldnt call here. Theres a chance u could have him dominated but unless he's been seen making this play several times recently when it folded to him, id have to think your either flipping a coin or dominated. I think ud do better to fold in this spot and look for somewhere more favorable to put your money in.

Lol wait a sec. Is it just me or is this a standard push? The BTN goes all in with his shortstack which could be any PP, any broadways, any ace and a lot more suited connectors etc. The SB could call with a lot of PPs, A7-AK, and KQ. I think AQ crushes his range. I insta-push here.

EDIT: I thought we had over 290k and not 29k. I still push here. We are short and I couldn't imagine a better opportunity to triple up.
