Default ITM flush draw in a 20 person SNG - Push it?

$6 party SNG with 20 players and now down to this. Villain had been an active raiser but mostly on the button. With him being in the SB I had trouble completely giving him credit for the ace and felt pushing this might give good results in either a flush or fold. As played, is there a standard play here that I should know about? And also, is this a preflop fold for many people?

PartyPoker Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t400(4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t12948)
Button (t4837)
SB (t11659)
Hero (t10556)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, <font color="red">SB raises to t1200</font>, Hero calls t800

Flop: (t2000) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
<font color="red">SB bets t1600</font>, <font color="gray">Hero ???</font>

I have never played one of these but just by looking at it I think shoving here is probably pretty terrible.

I might consider a call but if you have a decent edge then I would just fold here...

He's betting just over 3/4 pot and not giving you drawing odds. You have implied odds w/K high flush, so if your going with that, I'd say a smooth call and wait for your [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Call.
If he slows down on Turn, then take it with a bet.
If he bets the Turn too, then give it up.

A push here is fine. The pot is currently 1/3 your stack, if you call you have 7200 chips and the pot is 5600 so I think calling would be pretty bad. Note the converted is messed up and the pot size is all wrong.

The push probably folds a lot of small pairs and Kx and Qx hands and possibly some of the weaker aces too. Picking up these 4k chips adds 40% to your starting stack and gives you the chip lead.
