Default Party $6: Is this AQo an autopush?

Villian has only raised one other time the whole sit-n-go and it was a minimum raise. He ended up showing down 66. This is the second hand of 100/200 blinds. I'm on the bubble and have only half the next smallest stack. What to do here? Please keep in mind that this guy has not been stealing at all. He's been limping. Thus, this raise was likely to be some sort of strong hand.

PartyPoker $6 Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t3054)
Button (t4200)
Hero (t1500)
BB (t11246)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t625</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to t1500 (All-in)</font>

Thx.

It's still a $6 &amp; it's still on the button. Even a tight player's range is fairly wide. Gotta push.

I push cuz you're way smaller than everyone else. Nice chance to double up.

In the lower buy-in sit-n-go's, raising ranges are usually very tight or very loose. This guy's was tight. What makes these levels easy is that people's calling ranges are way too wide.

I think his raising range was probably any pair, and AJ,AQ,AK. With the knowledge that I'm getting called for sure, is it still a push given this range?

time is ticking... take the opportunity. you have good pot odds 'cause of the size of the blinds - you're putting in about 1500 to win a 3300 pot with AQ. take it.
