    I call , not sure if it's ok/right but without reads im definitly calling.
    Were getting about 2:1 odds.
    If UTG has a made flush than were about 35/65 underdog.
    Given that theres a lot of bad players this early in a SNG thres a good chance we have the BEST hand right now.

    Raise flop to 450, call push.

    do I really want to call a push here, even after SB has called my re-raise and UTG shoves over that???

    Yeah i missed that , raise more on the flop , nothing less than 400. 450 sounds good.
    Had you done that and than got flat called and he pushed even if UTG shows you a made flush i would call (Your getting close to 2.7:1 odds and only 35/65 underdog to a made flush).
    As played i would still call given the fact you see all kinda of crazy play this early in a 5.50 and theres a good chance you have the best hand.

    Don't fold sets on the flop in SnGs.

    I agree with the others, raise the flop to 400-450 and call the push. If somebody flopped the flush you still have 7 outs on the turn and 10 on the river to suck out, and there are so many hands you're ahead of that would play like this (Ax, flush draw, maybe even Qx) that I'm not folding here.
