I'm new to sngs and I was wondering what you guys would do in this situation (its a $30 if that matters):

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP (t1510)
Button (t1190)
SB (t1800)
Hero (t1250)
UTG (t2250)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t500</font>, Button pushes (t1190), 1 fold, hero....

Fold instantly. When faced with a situation where the best case will be that you're a coinflip, tend towards folding as long as you're not critically shortstacked (and you're not)

I could either see folding or pushing an option here, calling would be horrible. I play at the 11's where this would be a push for a majority of times with out reads. I would tend to wait as you do have 10xbb but i would push here in many spots.

AK is much closer. I dunno, I think I have to think about that more.

I think this depends on reads for me.

IE if UTG will fold to button's push, abd button knows this...I push myself.

I dunno, it depends.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, if you push, UTG is folding unless he has a monster.

Kinda liking a push if we have ANY favorable read on button.

Without read,
AQ fold instantly
QQ or better push
AK... hehe, tough one. still looks like a cointoss to an under pair so I am gonna go with fold

I'm pretty sure you can fold both AQ and AK here.

I think for the sake of math you've got to muck AQ &amp; AK by assuming one has an underpair &amp; one probably has a lower Ace.
