It is definitely +EV to push here. The blinds are 1200 alone, and if the BB calls, you are most likely a solid favorite. The SB's calling range here will be quite small unless you've been super aggressive and he is looking to make a stand which could cost him 2nd place.

Okay. Recognizing that I'm just starting to play STTs and should therefore be ignored at best, wouldn't the SB retain second if both he and the BB go out on the same hand? If that's true and I put myself in his spot and think that hero is just trying to bully the BB, won't my calling standards widen quite a bit?
Also, would a min raise by hero accomplish the same result vis a vis the BB? I think I remember Harrington writing (paraphrased) that a raise which is begging to be called is scarier than a push?
