Why are you putting him on such a tight range from the BTN?

He could have KQ, he could have KJ, he could have A5. This is an easy shove, you have 9BBs from the SB with AQ, put it in. Button will raise with a lot of hands here and I think this is the situation you basically want to be in.

He will/should raise pretty wide, like Wonderful pointed out.
Another important factor you haven't mentioned is how loose BB is.
If BB is a loose big stack, button's range will be quite a bit tighter, but you still have to call this.

15% is the breakeven point for his range, less if there are antes.

You can push against most people here.

Good point. This is pretty obvious now that I look at it again.
