Default ($55) Good spot to semibluff?

Villian is too loose preflop, like 30/15. No read on how he plays postflop.

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t2653)
CO (t2385)
Button (t2165)
SB (t4012)
Hero (t2285)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t75, Hero checks

Flop: (t300) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">SB bets t300</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t2135 (All-in)</font>

Standard?

What's so bad about calling?

Seems fine~ overs+ double gutter + FE. If you had a few less chips you could push pf. I find when 30/15 type players limp in this spot, they very often fold to a push/raise, except when they very occasionally have a monster.

I like a push if you had a shorter stack. As is, I call and try to take advantage of my position on the turn.

I play it the same. I really like the shove, and don't really like calling because I feel air compromises a significant to large % of his range. He's the big stack, and the complete the SB bet any flop steal is pretty common in my experience. Plus even if he has a hand to get implied odds from, we have tainted outs, and a 4 has got to be pretty scary to him.
