Why push a hand that could potentially cripple you?
What's the point of putting your tournament at risk just to pick up blinds?
Especially at this level, you'll get all kinds of people calling with Ax, any pocket pair. I dont see the point in taking the risk.

The blinds dictate the hands you should play, when the blinds start becoming significant compared to your stack you can't afford to camp for a monster since you will either blind out or be so shortstacked by the time you get it that you will still be shortstacked even if you double up. |
Ugh. There's more to this game than just your stack and your cards. Think more man. You are not the short stack here. You have terrible position.
FWIW, this hand is closer to a push from the button. Anyhow, part of your statement above is correct for general SNG strategy. It's just misapplied here.
