Default PS turbo $555 55 in the BB

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO (t2010)
Button (t1365)
SB (t4140)
Hero (t1615)
UTG (t1210)
MP (t3160)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, 5.
<font color="red">1 fold</font>, <font color="red">MP raises to t300</font>, <font color="red">4 folds</font>.

Final Pot: t525

Normally, this would be an instafold. However, the villain in this hand is a bit of a donk. His sharkscope has him down a couple thousand over a few hundered tourneys. However, in the first couple levels he had been playing very tight and seemed decent. Once the blinds starting going up he opened up his game a bit, especially on my BB.

In the last 5 orbits before this, he open raised my blind 4 times(varied amounts, but hadn't minraised yet) and limped the other time. He hasn't shown willingness to play a big pot without a good hand, the hand he doubled up on he raised my BB 4x with KK and stacked a guy by playing top set aggresively.

I think all three options here have merit. I think a push has decent FE here and slightly helps my image. On the other hand, I do have a decent stack and if I'm called I'm likely way behind. I'm not sure how good my implied odds here if I just call, and I have to give up on a lot of flops. So...push, fold, or call?
