How many players are remaining?
In an MTT, this probably is a shove with ATC on the BTN. In a SNG, it'd be an easy fold. The difference in payout structure between MTTs and SNGs explains why you shove in one and fold in the other.
With MTTs your "M" is most important, which is [your stack] / [BB + SB + antes]. In SNGs the amount of BBs you have is most important.
Basically, with MTTs you will be making looser pushes because of how top-heavy the payouts are. Barely sliding ITM does nothing in MTTs - you need to at least get to the final table to make a good payout and $/hr. With SNGs, if you make it to 3rd, you're already getting 20% of the prize-pool.
