Trying to figure out pushing...this one?

Assuming you haven't pushed before, I would do this if no one had called, so just SB was in the pot.

Really? I'd say that would be a min-raise or 3xBB raise situation. With just a SB/BB war, you'd have a reasonable (possibly best) start with position for the rest of the hand. The raise puts you in a position to steal an even-bigger pot after the flop in the (extremely frequent) case where the flop missed SB and he checks to you.

With 7.5BB I'm not looking to give the SB any chance of hitting a flop, I'll more more than happy in taking the blinds and getting my stack to 10.5BB. (This is about the situation where there is no limper and SB completes)

Also- you can't really raise 3xBB with your stack size.
