Default Should I have done a Stop and Go here?

Villian was very aggressive and had built her chip lead by stealing blinds.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t40000 (5 handed) converter

Button (t944728)
Hero (t381642)
BB (t525432)
UTG (t454624)
MP (t404574)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t120000</font>

Hero? Push? Fold? Stop and Go?

You should really have more info at your disposal than just that Villain has been stealing a lot. Has she been played back at yet, and if so what has she done? You also need to know what BB is likely to do if you try a stop-n-go. Is he playing for 1st or just trying to creep up in the money? Is he capable of putting you in a squeeze play by pushing? How easy will it be to steal from the short stacks? And what's the payout structure? Assuming normal conditions and a tight table, I would tend to shy away from tangling with the chip leader with a borderline hand in a raised pot, especially if I'll have an easier time winning chips from the other stacks. I'd rather wait for a chance to be first into the pot than try a move here.
