Default $12/180man SNG - Another easy push?

I've been trying to work on my pushing ranges lately and this should be an easy push, as I think it is... what I really wanted to ask is: Does the presence of the big stack on BB lead us towards folding more hands on this spot? What should be my pushing range here? I really don't know the answer, but my instincts tell me that pretty much any two cards will do it.. is that right?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t5000 with t500 antes (7 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t26140)
UTG+1 (t32250)
MP1 (t58097)
CO (t31737)
Hero (t38440)
SB (t19392)
BB (t63944)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Hero: ??

close...don't love the 4 cause it feels like you ae playing one card if called...here on borderline hands is where reads and table dynamics come into play

it really depends on reads and how the table is going. if BB is pretty loose i dont like it.

i duno i mean it depends. if i had pushed the last 3 hands i might pass up on this.

if your read is that the table is tight and you can steal with this then go with it.

i dont know if its easy by any means given your parameters as the actual basis for stealing is not so much your cards as it is the table dynamic/reads on the blinds you're stealing from.

that's why theres not much being discussed in this thread and you wont get more than a bunch of people who go into autopilot telling you this is an easy push
