Default PP $6: Bad fold here but wondering what would be the cutoff hand.

I had pushed three hands in a row and now here's the situation. Four people are left with stacks of X,X,X, and 2X. The 2X stack is in the BB. M's are 6.5, 6.5, 6.5, and 13.

The 2X stack hadn't shown much willingness to call all-ins but I figured the table was getting sick of my crap.

Obviously this was an atrocious fold. Given a fairly tight calling range in the BB, I'm wondering what sort of fold wouldn't be ridiculous.

If I've pushed 3 hands in a row and then I pick up a real monster like AA/KK or AK, I love shoving again because I'll get spite calls. Terrible fold.

Edit: There's a lot you can fold here. I'm only pushing 77+,AQo+, AJs+ here.

This was obviously a terrible play. I'm j/w how you would modify your pushing range b/c spite calls are likely. My thinking at the table was that I wanted to push into the other guys with my stacksize and I wanted to avoid the big stack. I completely lost track of the fact that I got dealt a very good hand that was worth pushing with. Flame away. I punched myself after hitting the fold button.

If your hand is ATo is this a push? How about 77,88? That's really what I wanted to discuss. I think that a good pushing range for this situation would be something like 88+,AJs+,AQo+.
