Re: ok MLG, can I get away from this one?
Your logic is perfect. I'd push with 7 or 8 BBs, but not almost 11, especially when there are no antes. I don't know that I would push with many hands from EP here, as the range I feel comfortable doing it with is sufficiently small that it would completely give my hand away (AK, QQ, JJ). So, with all of those I guess I just make my standard raise of 2.5x. Sometimes you can land yourself in an awkward spot, but that's tournament poker.
On a side note, if the stacks are much deeper than your typical online tourney (say a live big buy-in event) then AQ, JJ, 1010, 99, are all pushable because with the deeper stacks you are more liable to get looked up by something that beats you.
