Default 2 Pair from Big blind, $10MTT Pokerstars

Yesterday in $10 MTT at Pokerstars. 846 started, 81 pay, down to 55 when this hand came up. I've had this situation come up a few times either in the blinds or playing connectors and just wanted to know how others would play this hand.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t2000 (8 handed) converter

MP1 (t32860)
MP2 (t10240)
CO (t36492)
Button (t34434)
SB (t49477)
Hero (t18266)
UTG (t20401)
UTG+1 (t8876)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t2000, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls t2000, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t7700) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ???

<font color="black"> What is your play in this situation? </font>

I'd say pot it, but that's 40% of your stack. So push.

I never want to get cute with bottom 2, especially when both are low enough to get forfeited quite easily. I don't even want to risk a C/R here. If we had a preflop raiser, then I might check and let them cbet. Without a preflop raiser on such a ragged flop, it's quite possible that nobody will show aggression. And you're likely to get a call from AK/KQ/KJ if you push anyway.
