sitting at a 1 table $10 sng on pokerstars tonight I was feeling conflicted. I am 2nd lowest stack with about t1900, 3 other stacks are between t2200 and t2800 with the chipleader at t6000 and the short stack at 1100. I am in bb with 55. folded to button (chipleader)who calls, sb(t2400)completes. blinds are at 75/150. Button will only raise premium hands and couldn't steal his own chips if he tried. SB is decent. So what do i do here? check or raise? if raise, how much? push?

If you're read is good, I'd push. Checking is going to almost certainly lose the pot the 7 out of 8 times you miss the set.

Button sounds like he'll fold for sure and SB would've probably made the move himself with something better than you. If the steal is successful, you've added almost 50% to stack, which I think is worth the risk.
