Was this push a bad idea? SB & BB were fairly tight I was definitely going for the blind steal. I knew if either called I'd be behind.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed)

BB (t3390)
UTG (t2320)
<font color="C00000">Hero (t2180)</font>

Preflop: Hero is Button with T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, Hero raises to t2180 (All-In), SB calls t1960 (All-In), BB folds.

Flop: (t4590) 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t4590

4-handed, no reason to play to creep in, I think AT is a push here. Am I just a newbie misunderstanding the big boys' game?

with 7BB, I would push 9/10.

Asking this question my show that you aren't ready for 100+9's just yet. Anything but a push here is horrendous.

exactly, you should be wondering if pushing KJo or A2o was right, A10s is a nobrainer.

Yeah I don't actually play much SnG or NL. I'm mainly a 15/30 player but I like to mix it up once in a while.

When I played this hand, I pushed here in a split second. But after the fact, hindsight being 20/20, I wondered if it was the smartest thing to do, since although I was short stacked, I was pretty much tied with the other short stack and we were on the bubble. Also, I knew that if I was called, I'd be behind since they blinds were very tight. I'm not sure if that should make me want to push more or less.

But it seems like my concerns are baseless. Thanks for all the responses.
