Pushing is totally fine here. Probably the line i would take most of the time. Raising to 450-500 here leaves you with a pot almost as big as your stack and very little room for preflop manouvering. Push and let them call you with their 77-JJ, AQ or whatever.

I would reraise the size of the pot. And bet the flop if it didnt contain a king or an ace.

if someone is calling a reraise to ~400 they are going to call a push

[/ QUOTE ]

I disagree. Many times th fish at lower levels will call a re-raise with hands like QJo or suited connectors.

To the OP, I think a push isnt bad here but raising to 400ish is better in my book.

I would have re-raised to about 400-450 and then pushed any non AK flop. Pushing all-in in the first place seems a bit too much, although at the $11s this early on you might still get a bad call from someone.
