Did I burst my own bubble here? Hand analysis

[McBandit]

I am generally the most aggressive player on the bubble in my tournaments and I think it has served me well in getting a high number of 1st place finishes, but sometimes I think I may overdo it a bit. In this hand I think I could have perhaps minraised preflop with the intention of calling a push by the 3rd or 4th stacks, but folding to a reraise by the 2nd stack. Is that the correct play here? Or was my push not as bad as I think it was?

I have this happen to me a lot. You're not below ten BBs, so I suppose that you could raise 3BBs and fold to a reraise from the BB. I presume that you would happily call any reraise from dblup and most from MarinaP?

[TheDrone]

The push is good if it will fold small pocket pairs and maybe AJ, but it depends on how tight the villain has been playing the bubble. Otherwise a standard raise makes sense, folding to villain's push. Your play is automatic from other positions if villain folds in front of you.

Your play was correct IMO. Your hand is very strong opening a pot 4 way. I don't like raising to 800-900 with the idea of folding to a reraise here, although it's not terrible. I just feel like it puts you in a position to make a pretty big mistake, and may encourage people to make moves on you.

You probably are forgetting all those times that everyone folded, but remember very clearly those times the other big stack just happens to have a hand, that also holds up against you.
