You give stack sizes, but not blind sizes.

Very important info, or else I don't know how I would play the hand.

big blind during 3rd hour:
1st 15 mins: 300/600/50
2nd: 400/800/50
3rd: 600/1200/75
4th: 800/1600/75

Sorry bout that Wood....this particular hand was 600/1200/75

Ok, given the stack/blind ratio, you have one move, push or fold.

I don't like a SnG here as that move is best used to fold better hands, and if you do it here, you are likely folding worse hands, which you want to call.

Given this:

I'm getting my chips in pretty quick PF, as often I'll have him 70/30 (i.e. A8)

I understand being disheartned when a hand you may have made fold with a flop bet rivers you out of tourney, but making the best play will work out over the long haul, and you want to maximize chips here.
