Was this the spot to push

[rabbitlover]

I keep 2nd guessing myself about this push. Almost $9K difference between 1st place and 8th.

So based on my stack relative to the other players, and the blinds/antes, was this a hand to push with? I only had two other players covered by my stack (barely).

I find I can make my way to final tables, but never it seems as the big stack. In this tournament I had been completely card dead for the previous 5 levels.

All thoughts appreciated.
