I'd been playing tight, no reads on UTG, would it be ok to push with this here?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter
UTG+1 (t3195)
MP1 (t490)
MP2 (t1920)
CO (t1110)
Hero (t575)
SB (t805)
BB (t895)
UTG (t1010)
Preflop: Hero is Button with A, J.
UTG raises to t100, 4 folds. Hero.....

Calls and sees a flop. If you've noticed that UTG is one of those players who plays a lot of pots and loves the mini-raise, then a push is probably preferable. Against a "normal" (as normal as mini-raisers can be) player, AJo probably isn't more than a coinflip against his range of hands. So you call, check-fold if you miss, pay the SB, and still have 500 chips. Little skin off the back.
