Default $22 speed: Was this a bad fold?

I would usually have pushed this, but I had been raising with a lot of hands and also had my blinds folded to me the last couple rounds. The two short stacks were both trying to fold into 3rd and with the big stack sitting there...was this really bad or ok?

PartyPoker $22 Speed Tournament, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t6380)
Button (t8650)
SB (t1430)
BB (t3540)

Preflop: Hero is in CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">Hero folds</font>, <font color="red">Button raises to t8650 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>

Might've gone to 1200 to commit the small blind without really getting involved, but that's only if I'm really feeling saucy. I have no problem folding this.

What do you think about making it 1800 calling a push by BB, folding to Button push?

I'm pushing. Folding is only a small mistake though. I don't like anything fancy here.

probably raise to 1500 or so, and folding to a button push.

my main problem with opening here is your decent stack and likely crazy image. you can open and youd really have to fold to any button raise unless you felt he could come over the top of you with air, which youd probably think about bc youd been raising so much. i dont mind open shoving this as i think youll be way ahead often here and button is likely going to fold with shorties, his range has to be tight enough. in your spot, i like pushing&gt;folding&gt;raising

How had the big stack been playing recently? Don't forget he's almost as scared of you as you are of him. Put in a good raise and take it from there. Call if BB pushes, against button folding would probably be correct. Folding is a mistake in this position.

Raise to 1200. Folding isn't great, but a push here isn't the best idea.

Why are people advocating raising less than all in with 10bb?

We have FE over everybody at the table. We're eating a huge BB next hand and we'll have to call with any 2 in the likely scenario that the shorty pushes from the button and it's folded to us.

This is absolutely a push or a fold situation... and I'm pretty happy to see 77. Push.
