$6 Star Shove

The SB was limping in with his pocket pairs but my connection was messing up and I was kinda got put on tilt about it because it was a crucial part of the tournament. Anyways when my connection was restored I got this hand in the bb and wonder if a shove is the right move here?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t5170)
Button (t2195)

CO folds, Button folds, SB calls t75, Hero raises to t1128 (All-in),

Usually I would shove this, but with your read, that SB is limping his pockets, I could imagine a call here and then make a play on the flop.
But the push is not bad here IMHO.

he could be limping here with a wide range of hands so im pushing this a lot of the time

If he's raising everything but pocket pairs, this is not a good push. If he's raising some, completing some (including pocket pairs), it's okay.
