2 folds, UTG+2 raises to 2000, some folds, SB calls. Hero ??

I wasn't too worried about UTG+2. His raise to 2000 was too large, and is often a hand like 99 or AJ that doesn't want to be called. I wasn't sure what to put the SB on, his call makes little sense unless he's planning a stop and go. Is there any case to be made for flat calling and pushing any aceless flop?

My thinking at the time was that if I push preflop, UTG+2 may re-raise and help me knock out the SB, though it appears he is most likely committed.

So, push all in preflop or just call then push? Is it close?
