I'm gonna go against the grain here. I'd push. Remember, if you fold, you're very likely not placing better than 3rd. If you push with what almost surely rates to be the best hand and win against BB, you're ahead of him (and basically sure to cash at that point). Who knows, SB may get stubborn and call too, which would be wonderful.

This can't be a fold in my opinion.

I'm shoving. I'd rather be playing for 1st or 2nd rather than just sliding into 3rd.

You may have the right answer but with the wrong logic. You should do whatever play will make you the most money.
