This is a $22 Ultimate Bet sit-n-go. Are the chips that I pick up in this move worth the risk?

This is read dependent, but I often make moves like this against minraises. You have plenty of FE.

Is Button random any-2 minraiser? Is Button minraiser with AA/KK?

Need some general idea about what Button's minraise means here, depending on this, pushing/folding both fine.

Button had just doubled up the hand earlier by waking up with AK against a small blind bluff.

Up to this point, he had been limping every time he came into a pot. I thought his min-raise was a result of him now having a big stack and trying to push the SS around.

With this move you increase your stack by 1/3 if he folds, and have a decent shot at winning against his calling range. I like the move.

in that case, looks like a good push.
