What? Im standard rasing and folding to most reraises, no need to get committed here preflop.

That's okay if the players left to act are tight. I think you're usually better of pushing here.

Another problem is that the 3 players left to act are the big stacks, who are much more likely to call and take a flop with a weak ace or suited connectors, but will lay the same hands down to a push.

The OP can still take half the BB's stack if he's called which considerably tightens up the BB's calling range.

given the stacks you're playing against - I figure a reraise and you're all in anyways - probably best to make the push if ya want to do it.

Pushing gives you obviously max FE here. Your image has a lot to say about pushing, though. If you have been pretty active, then I might fold this given the stack sizes behind. If I've been tight, then I'm pushing quickly. You cannot really consider a standard raise followed by a fold, so
