Good push?

[T_Money]

22 people left and 63 paid. Almost every time someone would push in and it would be folded around. Blinds are 2-4k and i have ~30k. SB has like 20k and BB has maybe 40k. I pick up KTo in CO and push. Good or bad?

Yes, Id push this everytime.

Good push with a slightly short stack and a pretty strong hand for CO.

One other question I wasnt sure of. I was about 3 off the button w/ around 30k. The big stack of ~90k raised to 16k in 2nd position. I picked up ATo, was this a push? I wasnt sure as even a trap hand like AJ had me dominated, but his range probably also include 55-AA AK-A9 and KQ. He just got moved to our table and sat out for the first few minutes. Wasn't sure on this hand and figured I could try and find a better spot as I personally put a ton of value in being the first in.

You have no folding equity. You're facing an EP raise. Unless he's been very aggressive in EP you're behind his range of hands although it's pretty close. I don't mind folding and waiting for a better spot with your stack size - short but not critical.
