I'm not a fan of using a stop-n-go against more than one opponent (I'm assuming the button called as well).

I would push preflop, as a sort of squeeze play. The pot is a big chunk of your stack, and you fare decently well against a range that would call you. Plus, both players might fold and you pick up a pot ~50% of your stack.

If you were only up against one player, I might think about a stop-n-go, but I would proably just push preflop anyways.

I can't tell if Button called or not

If he did, shove.
If he didn't, its closer since its an EP raise and all. With 30 minute levels i might fold?

I'd look at my watch. 0-40 mins past the hour I fold.
