Re: Silly?
I really don't like open pushing when you have 30BB. I like it a little more if it is folded to you in late position and you think someone may think you are on some crazy steal, but not much more. We can figure your EV if you assume a range of hands that will call you. I do not think pushing is +EV there, but I have not done the math, so that is just speclation.
I just looked at the stack sizes of everyone, and that makes me like it even less. The thing about getting reraised if you make a raise is that you know who you will be up against. If a bigger stack pushes, you may find a fold. Moreover I am not convinced underpairs are going to call here. I really think you only get action from hands that are way ahead and AK. In the raise/reraise/(push if you have the option) scenario, (assuming you never get away from the hand), I think you have a better chance of getting action when you are way ahead. (Again, I have not done any math here, but that is my intuitive response).
