Default 4 handed w/ shorty on life support,- is pushing -$EV?

I'm more of an MTT player and this is obviously a +cEV push but I'm not sure about this situation.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Hero (t2980)
SB (t6868)
BB (t991)
UTG (t9161)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: (t3380) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t3380) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t3380) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

no, pushing is massively -ev, as the SB has you covered. He should be the one pushing you around, not the other way around. Basically in this my range would be KK+, as your main goal as 3rd stack is to fold into the money (which you should have no problem doing given the chip stacks)
