Good fold or misplayed?

[Stretch002]

Hello everyone,
This is a hand I played over the weekend. I think I should have pushed pre-flop or just folded instead of limping. I did not have a great read on the villain - just thought he was playing a fairly conservative game. I had seen him push pre-flop with pocket Kings as well as defend his blinds with Ax. Had hoped to limp in and see if I hit or set or if no over cards dropped I would push. What should I have done instead?

Yah, you should have pushed preflop.

Pushing pre-flop is probably the best idea. I wouldn't call here with your stack size.
