Default bad push?

Party poker 20+2 million dollar satellite, First 9 spots get a freeroll to the million dollar guaranteed. 21 players left, average stack approx 14k. Villain has been moderately agressive, has raised all in once when I bet into his blinds.
Bad push? Should I be more conservative here?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (7 handed) converter

CO (t3140)
Button (t7583)
SB (t16785)
Hero (t20942)
UTG (t12852)
Villain (t19351)
MP2 (t18884)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1fold
Villain raises [2500].
4 folds
Hero pushes??

You have a very good stack here. I don't think you need to risk it all pre-flop on this hand. You're first to act after the flop. I can see two other reasonable options:

Call the raise and push any flop wihtout an A or a K. Continuation bet any A or K flop and fold to an all in.

Alternatively, you can re-raise about 7500 to make Villian define hand.

I don't know if the nature of a satellite structure makes a push better or worse, but there is more than simply a push here to consider.

Arent you defining your hand in the process?

Id probobly flat call here. You are facing the other big stack, so I dont think this is a situation where you want to gamble your chips by pushing. On the flop, Id probobly lead at anything that falls and re-evaluate.

If you like to err on the side of caution, which I usually do, I agree with the flat-call here.
