OK, 2 questions...

2. What is your hand range for the Button (no reads)?

1. Yes
2. Really wide, most times not very good, occassionally a monster

I'm going out on a limb guessing you ran into the monster. I'd still push almost every time in that situation.

I really think that this answer depends on whether or not the button has limped recently or not. If he has always come into the pot for a raise as the opener I think I might give some thought to folding. But even then I'd probably push anyway.

[Olback]

Without any reads i think you have to push.

If you have seem him limp before then you should reevulate things. If this is at a $22 very few people limp with monsters espcially on the button.
