Default $55 99 - late in the game

I wasn't sure how to play this hand given the circumstances. All remaining opponents are pretty solid players who haven't been raising with garbage. What's my play here?

Casino Kid is at seat 0 with 2340.
smellkid is at seat 2 with 2070.
shaky g is at seat 4 with 3015.
DrStu is at seat 5 with 1045.
lucaluca is at seat 7 with 4790.
feaugh is at seat 8 with 1740.
The button is at seat 3.

shaky g posts the small blind of 75.
DrStu posts the big blind of 150.

Casino Kid: -- --
smellkid: 9c 9d
shaky g: -- --
DrStu: -- --
lucaluca: -- --
feaugh: -- --

Pre-flop:

lucaluca raises to 525.

well if hes aggressive, then its an autoshove for me. if theres a chance hell fold anything, its an autoshove for me. hes the big stack, so could be gettin pushy tryin to lean on everyone. so basically, what im saying, is id shove. holla

Thanks, guys. That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if he makes this play 1010, JJ, QQ, KK. Probably not though since the table had been pretty tight up to that point. Hell, with that many people left and blinds that high, there wasn't a lot of playing going on.

Does a pretty tight table impact the push here?

The issue isn't whether or not he makes this play with TT-KK (which he probably does) but what other hands that he does it with. Provided that range is suitably large, the probability that he'll actually show up with TT-KK is sufficiently small to make a push good.

call and re-evaluate flop

if a ragged board of undercards comes, be ready to put in all your money (and possibly lose to overpair)

Don't ever put 1/4 of your stack in to 'call and re-evaluate a flop'. Ever.

Yeah, this was a pretty clear push or fold situation for me. No calling here ever.

I appreciate the input, guys.

If I'm reading this right, it's an UTG raise from big stack, and I have 14BB. I have zero interest in what will be a coin flip at best. Easy fold for me.
