I'm not familiar with the deeper stacks at Stars, but I'm pretty sure this is a no-brainer. I think from the button you raise if you think blinds are tight or push if you think you need to do that to push off SB. But from UTG this is going to get you in trouble if you push w/ 4 people left to act.

The only way this would be even ICM-neutral is if you had <t900 in your stack and your opponents were tightish. Considering your current stack (not being hurt by the blinds) and the fact that there are some biggies out, this is a clear clear fold.
