Final table of a 180 man SNG, UTG was my button at the table before this. Pretty solid player but capable of making moves also. I almost got my hopes up on the flop but then my luck kicked in on the turn.

If you want to move up in the money, a fold is ok.

If your goal is to win, a push seems necessary here.

All a matter of personal preference. I most likely push without any additional information about players. I know I would open-raise any Ace, KQ/J, or any PP there so half those hands he probably lays down and some he calls with you are slightly ahead in a coin flip situation. Good play I think.
