i think its push/fold here

Why do you think min raise is not an option here? Does pushing get the bigger stacks to my left to fold a better hand like AK, TT+ or whatever they could feasibly come over the top with?

I think their point is anything except pushing gives the large stacks a chance to come over the top and get you to possibly lay the hand down. They don't have to have a strong hand to do that. A min-raise is committing about 1/3 of hero's stack. Pushing precludes the large stacks from coming into the hand without strong cards. It might also be enough to get them to lay down some strong hands that are still ahead of you like TT-JJ.
