I'm wondering if going all-in, after a larger stacks min raises was a bad idea given the fact there are 2 short stacks at the table.
Was this push stardard?

I'm in push/fold mode, and pretty desperate at this point with only 4.5XBB. Is 22 too weak here or was it a case of good push/bad results?

Both are standard pushes.

Both seem good. I like the first push in this case (big stacks who double don't seem to usually have monsters), though if the short stacks were much shorter I'd prefer a fold.
