The table was playing very tight all game. I was basically treading water when the following situation occurred (sorry about the weird format, I don't know how to convert it into the standard one used here):

I think your push is fine here because you will be the BB next hand for 1/3 of your stack. Unfortunately you will only be called by hands having you crushed or coin flips. The best you can hope for is getting called by a coinflip an winning, the next of course is that all fold and you win another orbit looking for a playable hand.

I think the general rule agreed here is that when you are down to less than 10BB it is either allin or fold. I don't see how you can possibly fold pocket 10's here so allin is the move IMHO.

Yes, easy push.
