$10 Big stack play - When do you start pushing with ATC?

Does it matter how many are left? 6 seat SNG.. Top two paid. I folded a few times because I just couldn't stand my cards but I was wondering if I should be pushing.

Don't do this too much at the 10s till you have a read they won't call you with Ax because they got an ace.
Those blinds aren't really worth it...
with 120/240, this would be way more interesting.

the 2nd one is way better b/c not only do we have a better hand, but it's actually the bbl.
