Default Ahead enough to push?

This is the 3rd hand of a party 30+3, 730 entrants. When I'm minraised on the flop and there's a caller before it gets back to me. I'm not sure there's much to like about this flop for someone else unless they're holding 88, a flush draw, or don't believe me. I have the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] so the flush draw's somewhat less likely. The button could plausibly have down to, say, 77, maybe up through TT/JJ, and I suppose he might have been "trapping" with QQ/KK but that's not something I'd expect here. If he doesn't have 88, then UTG+2 either has that or the flush draw (or is making a truly fishy play, and it's not exactly great with 88/flush either).

(I've said 88 instead of "set" through all this because I _really_ don't expect to see 22 or 33, but maybe that's presuming too much.)

At this level, this early, is the flop push good?
