Default $11: 10-10 Bubble hand, Standard?

I was wondering what others thought about this hand. I figured a push was a good play, but maybe 13bb was too much when I could have raised to 3bb and acheived a fold vs. these players. The big stack was pushing the other stacks around when he was first in but showed little willingness to call when somebody else raised/pushed in front of him. The BB was loose and seemed to be calling pushes and reraise pushing with any pair even when the blinds were significantly smaller. I think I'm maybe being results oriented by questioning this push. The push seemed standard when I made it, but then when I realized how much I risked vs. what I stood to gain I kinda questioned it. Thoughts?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

Hero (t2655)
Button (t2125)
SB (t6855)
BB (t1865)

Better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

Well done.

someone plug that into sngpt and tell me what it says.

"you are risking more than 10X the big blind.
You may want to consider other strategic options."

And I agree, make it the standard 600, maybe 700 to discourage action. You still have lots of room.

Alot of times when i think im running badly, Im actually just doing things like this. You might be +EV, but trust me, its a mistake. And a its leak alot of players have trouble closing up.

I push. Only one other player has more than 10bb here and you only have 13bb anyway making post-flop tricky if flat-called.

13 BBs is not that different from 10 BBs. "10 BB rule" is a guide not a strict rule.
