Default TPWK in BB facing short-stack push

Party 30+3, 1330 started, maybe 750 still in it.

Villain here is in the SB, I'm in the BB. He'd been at the table for 15 hands and hadn't played a single one until the hand previous to this one. There, the SB completed and he pushed from his BB, SB folded. Table's been pretty tight for the time he's been present.

On the flop, I check because I expect a bet from the EP limper, and then I get to see what the SB does before I act. A min-bet and a push. If SB had a pair, say, 77 or better I'd expect him to push preflop. Same for any hand that'd be overcards to the flop. Basically, I assume he's on a total bluff or has a jack (or maybe 34). If he has a J, I don't think it's AJ, and he might well have pushed preflop with KJ as well. I'm not too concerned with the big-stack EP limper. So I push.

Good? I thought about it for awhile before I pushed, but my guess is this should feel standard to me.
