This is one of those "almost 10x BB, so I am not sure if I should push or just raise" kind of hands.

Meh. I think if I've started my pushing frenzy already then this is a push, but if I've only made standard raises so far then I make another standard raise.

And I sincerely hope you aren't considering folding to the push.

I play this exactly the same way.

I would play it the same as you did.

I wonder, would calling here be absolutely abhorrent? If you call and someone raises, you push it. If you call and get a few limpers and hit your A or K, you get your money in. If you miss, well.. that sux.

I hadn't started the lunacy yet... just wanted to see how others play it.

I can't see how I can fold to the push.

There is no fold here if someone pushes.
