Default ($55) Push with any two to SB\'s open-complete?

NL Texas Hold'em $50 Buy-in + $5 Entry Fee Level:4 Blinds(50/100)
Seat 3 is the button
Total number of players : 7
Seat 8: bigkidpoker ( $525 )
Seat 9: scrottin ( $1432 )
Seat 5: Aznito ( $1998 )
Seat 6: Hero ( $1095 )
Seat 3: kogo9 ( $585 )
Seat 2: seaslammer ( $1835 )
Seat 1: Chopstyln ( $2530 )
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hero [ 5h Tc ]
bigkidpoker folds.
scrottin folds.
Chopstyln folds.
seaslammer folds.
kogo9 folds.
Aznito calls [50].
Hero is all-In [995]

I had a read that Aznito was a $55 regular, but not that good since he didn't push in the first place.

What if my stack was 1300 or higher? Does it make a difference that villain's stack is twice the size of mine in this hand?

if he's a solid $55 regular this push is suicide.

haha is that because his complete means a LOT of strength then? I too his complete for weakness, trying to see a flop.

not sure if he's a SOLID regular, but I've seen him in games before.

what if I had no read at all? Is this a push?

For me personally, I dont love laying over 4:1 in this situation unless I just KNOW the guy's limp means he'll fold. Especially against level 5+ aggro players/pushers, I will limp in the SB w/big hands hoping for this play. Of course, you're usually gonna get him to fold, but it has to be a very high percentage of the time, and sometimes guys will just spite call you with marginal stuff if you do it too often.

something else: I have position on villain. if he checks on the flop, a flop bet by me also has a good chance of picking up the pot then (if he misses)

I don't like this play. Some people spite-call when pushed around like this. You make the play if you are 110% sure you won't get called. And even then, is it worth your whole stack for 50 measily chips?

100 chips. But yea, this play is alright, but must be done sparingly. I much prefer checking it down, and taking a stab on the flop. With 1000 chips, your kind of on the borderline on which option to take, so I dont fault your play here.
