Default 20+2 TT with 10BB with overcard flop vs loose/passive

Full Tilt Poker No-Limit SnG, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed)

SB (t1230)
Hero (t1050)
UTG (t3435)
MP (t1720)
CO (t1905)
Button (t4160)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Button calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero checks.

Flop: (t250) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets t100</font>, Hero??

Maybe just shoving preflop would have been the best play here. I didn't do this because the button was one of the loosest and most passive I've seen in a while. We're talking a VP$P of about 75. So I figured he'd call with nearly all the coinflip hands that I dont want to see (QJ, KJ, AJ, KQ). I believed he was also capable of slowplaying big pairs, especially in a pot with nothing in it.

just shove pre, him being so limp happy gives a better reason to do it

You're also going to see A9-A2 and 99-55 alot. This is a very standard push pf. If you're flipping, that's not so bad as you're desperate to get some chips anyway.

Not shoving preflop is bad, here.
